House Bill 166 amends the Health and Safety Code to provide an exception from certain restrictions regarding the location and boundaries of a cemetery for a nonprofit corporation in a municipality with a population of at least 60,000 that is located in a county with a population of no more than 155,000. The bill allows a charitable nonprofit corporation to file an application with the municipality to establish or use a cemetery inside the municipality's boundaries, and it allows the municipality to authorize the cemetery if it finds that the cemetery's establishment or use will not affect public health, safety, and welfare. The bill requires the corporation to file the application with the municipality by December 1, 2001.
