The bill amends subsection 2 of section 23-21.1-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the requirements for perpetual care cemeteries. It specifies that organizations must set aside and deposit a minimum percentage of the gross selling price from interment spaces into the perpetual care fund. The bill modifies the required percentages and minimum amounts for various types of interment spaces, changing the minimum from twenty percent to twenty-ten percent in several instances, while also adjusting the minimum dollar amounts for adult spaces, children's spaces, mausoleum spaces, columbarium niches, and crypt gardens.

Specifically, the bill removes the word "any" and the phrase "thereafter" from the existing law. It also updates the minimum amounts for adult spaces from twenty dollars to twenty-ten dollars, for children's spaces from five and ten dollars to twenty-ten dollars, and for mausoleum spaces from one hundred dollars to twenty-ten dollars. Similar adjustments are made for columbarium niches and crypt gardens, ensuring that the perpetual care fund requirements are consistent across different types of interment options.
