House orders third reading on St. Albans Cemetery governance modernization bill
Summary
The House ordered third reading on H.884, a committee bill granting the St. Albans Cemetery Association the authorities given to other cemetery associations under state law to, for example, sell an unoccupied parcel to finance maintenance.
The House ordered third reading on H.884, a narrow committee bill to modernize governance for the St. Albans Cemetery Association by granting it the powers that other cemetery associations exercise under 18 V.S.A. chapter 121.
The member from St. Albans City summarized that the association seeks parity with other cemetery associations to exercise standard powers such as selling an unoccupied parcel to finance maintenance. The committee reported it heard from the cemetery association’s legal assistant and legislative counsel and recommended passage.
Reporters said the parcel in question is not currently occupied and that a tentative purchaser had been identified; the measure would take effect on passage.
Next steps: third reading was ordered on the floor.
