The proposed bill, known as the "Pet Cemetery Regulation Act," aims to establish comprehensive regulations for pet cemeteries in Michigan, including the sale of related merchandise and services. It defines key terms such as "pet cemetery," "individual burial," "group cremation," and "endowed care fund," among others. The bill mandates that pet cemetery operators must file a dedication for their land, establish an endowed care fund, and maintain accurate records of burial agreements and cremation activities. It also outlines the responsibilities of local health departments in approving pet cemetery locations and the conditions under which a pet cemetery can be established or operated.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the maintenance of pet gravesites, the handling of unpaid fees, and the reversion of burial rights if a pet owner cannot be contacted after a specified period. It imposes penalties for violations of the act, classifying them as misdemeanors with potential fines and imprisonment. The legislation aims to ensure the proper care and management of pet cemeteries while protecting the rights of pet owners and maintaining public health standards.
