House Bill 2214 amends the Health and Safety Code to authorize a nonprofit organization to file a written application with the governing body of a municipality that is wholly or partly located in Harris County to establish or use a cemetery located inside the boundaries of the municipality. The bill requires the municipality by ordinance to prescribe the information to be included in the application and authorizes the governing body by ordinance to authorize the establishment or use of such a cemetery if the municipality determines and states in the ordinance that the establishment or use of the cemetery does not adversely affect public health, safety, and welfare.
