Rules committee clears technical correction to include human composting as a disposition method
Summary
Senator Williams presented a technical correction to a recently passed bill to add human composting as a recognized method of disposition; the Standing Rules Committee unanimously advanced the substitute to the general calendar.
The Standing Rules Committee unanimously approved a substitute to a previously passed bill that corrects drafting omissions to explicitly include human composting as a method of disposition.
Senator Williams told the committee that legislative counsel had omitted language accounting for the human composting law passed in the prior session and that the substitute restores consistency. “They actually did because they didn't take into consideration the human composting bill we passed last session,” Williams said, explaining the correction was to avoid a long floor amendment and save time.
Committee members asked informal questions; there were no public speakers. The vice chairman moved the substitute and Senator Anderson seconded; the committee chair announced the motion carried unanimously. The substitute will now be placed on the Senate’s general calendar.
The committee did not discuss budgetary impacts or implementation steps; the action appears to be a technical, clarifying change to align statutory language with existing law.
