Dear Senator McGinn:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 97 by Senate Committee on Local Government
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 97 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 97 would amend existing law concerning cemetery corporations to include a definition
for “purposes of sepulture,” which includes, but is not limited to, interment of human remains and
cemetery, mortuary, and embalming facilities, as well as any other purposes and uses necessary.
Adding this definition would broaden the purposes for which cemetery property could be used.
The bill would also makes a number of technical corrections.
According to the Secretary of State, enactment of SB 97 is not expected to have a fiscal
effect on agency operations. The Kansas Association of Counties indicates that enactment of the
bill would not have a fiscal effect on counties.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
