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 sustainable 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 environmentally friendly burial options and seeks to encourage practices that are less harmful to the environment.
