	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2045, as introduced, Hayashi. Cemeteries.
   Existing law, the Cemetery Act, establishes the Cemetery and

Existing law requires the bureau to examine the endowment care funds
of cemetery authorities, as specified.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to a
provision of the Cemetery Act related to endowment care funds.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 9656 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   9656.   Whenever   If  the bureau finds,
after notice and hearing, that any endowment care funds have been
invested in violation of the  provisions of the  Health and
Safety Code,  it   the bureau  shall by
written order mailed to the person or body in charge of the fund
require the reinvestment of the funds in conformity to that code
within a period  which   that  shall be not
less than two years if the investment was made prior to October 1,
1949, not less than six months if the investment was made on or after
October 1, 1949, and before the effective date of the amendment of
this section by the 1969 Regular Session of the Legislature, and not
less than 30 days if the investment is made on or after the effective
date of the amendment. The period may be extended by the bureau in
its discretion.
