The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 473, aims to amend the general statutes to promote green burials, which are designed to have minimal environmental impact. The bill emphasizes the use of biodegradable materials in the burial process, aligning with environmentally friendly practices.

The legislation does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that supports the promotion of green burials. This initiative reflects a growing interest in sustainable practices within the funeral industry and seeks to encourage the adoption of eco-friendly burial methods.
