Pet Cemetery Regulation Act
Senate Bill 157 would create Michigan's first regulatory framework for pet cemeteries — recordkeeping for burial and preneed agreements, a special perpetual-care fund, preneed-sales protections, and consumer disclosures, with penalties for violations. It regulates pet cemeteries, not human funeral or cremation operations, but shares the perpetual-care and preneed concepts operators already know. It passed the Senate on a close 19-18 vote and now awaits action in the House Committee on Regulatory Reform.
