Transportation, Storage and Final Disposition of Dead Bodies; 10-146 CMR Ch. 1

Date posted:

Attachment(s):

The Department is proposing these changes to amend Chapter 1 and hold public comment, so that adoption of this non-emergency rule may coincide with the expiration of the emergency rule, which became effective January 31, 2025. Consistent with the emergency rule currently in effect, this rulemaking includes the additional $5.00 fee for burial-transit permits issued for the transportation, temporary storage, disinterment, or final disposition of a dead human body, pursuant to Public Law 2023, chapter 677, section 4, and replaces the outdated reference to a repealed statute (30 MRS § 2352) with the correctly referenced statute, 30-A MRS § 2652. Additionally, the proposed rule changes include technical changes to the format to conform to agency standards. The Department is coordinating this rulemaking with 10-146 CMR Chapter 7, to ensure that the legislatively mandated burial-transit permit fee is reflected in rules containing charges for the permit.
