Reagan Bills Ease Disposal of Cremated Ashes Pass Assembly
In Sacramento the Assembly, by a unanimous vote, sent two Beilenson authored measures to the governor to loosen ash disposal rules. One bill ends a three mile offshore burial by plane limit and allows ash dropping from shore or anywhere in the ocean. The other allows ash burial in both incorporated and unincorporated areas. Both measures cleared 720 votes.
