The bill amends the Cemetery Regulation Act of 1968 by updating definitions and clarifying terms related to cemeteries, interments, and related entities. Key changes include the removal of the term "crematory for the cremation for human remains" and the addition of a columbarium for the inurnment of cremated remains. The definitions of "individual" are also updated to replace "persons" in several instances, ensuring consistency in terminology throughout the act. Additionally, the bill specifies that a crematory must be owned or operated by a licensed individual under the occupational code.

Other notable amendments include the change of the department name from "labor and economic growth" to "licensing and regulatory affairs," and the clarification of terms related to cemetery ownership and operation. The bill also emphasizes the responsibilities of cemetery owners regarding the maintenance and care of cemetery properties. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of two other specified bills in the 103rd Legislature.
