Amends the Cemetery Oversight Act. In provisions concerning the Cemetery Relief Fund, provides that the Fund shall be used by the State Comptroller (instead of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation) solely for the purpose of providing reimbursements (instead of grants) to units of local government, to cemeteries registered with the State Comptroller, and to not-for-profit organizations to clean up cemeteries that have been abandoned or neglected, are at risk of going into receivership, insolvency, or being abandoned, or are otherwise in need of additional care.
