HB 1871 - FINAL DISPOSITION OF DEAD BODIES - Deeken, Bill

Adds and gives first priority to attorneys-in-fact who have been granted control of human remains by the deceased and considered as the next-of-kin as it relates to disposition of the dead body
Latest Action: 01/30/2008 - Second Read and Referred S Judiciary and Civil & Criminal Jurisprudence Committee

Bill Text
SB 1025 - Under current law, a person may grant the right of sepulcher to any person as long as the designation is made in a written instrument meeting certain qualifications under current law, however, such a designation will not supersede the rights of the deceased's spouse or certain family members. This act deletes the provisions of law allowing for such a designation, and instead provides that an attorney in fact designated in a durable power of attorney that specifically grants the right of sepulcher shall have first priority for the purposes of determining who has the right to choose and control the burial, cremation, or other final disposition of the deceased designee's body.

This act is identical to provisions within SB 659 (2007).
