104TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
State of Illinois
2025 and 2026
SB3604

Introduced 2/5/2026, by Sen. Steve Stadelman

SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:

225 ILCS 411/25-75

Amends the Cemetery Oversight Act. In provisions concerning the
Cemetery Relief Fund, provides that the Fund shall be used by the State
Comptroller (instead of the Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation) solely for the purpose of providing reimbursements (instead of
grants) to units of local government, to cemeteries registered with the
State Comptroller, and to not-for-profit organizations to clean up
cemeteries that have been abandoned or neglected, are at risk of going into
receivership, insolvency, or being abandoned, or are otherwise in need of
additional care. Provides that, in the event there is a structural surplus
in the Cemetery Oversight Licensing and Disciplinary Fund, the Department
may transfer (instead of expend) moneys out of the Cemetery Oversight
Licensing and Disciplinary Fund for the reimbursements.
