Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 29, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DEAD HUMAN BODIES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to ensure the ethical treatment of human body remains by requiring a permit from the Department of Health (DOH) to commercially display dead human bodies.

 

     The Laogai Research Foundation and several concerned individuals supported this bill.  A concerned individual opposed this measure.  DOH submitted comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 29, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
