This bill is so important for small cemeteries, it will help them with land issues and make sure they can keep their history alive. I don't understand why people are against it, it's just common sense. This bill will have a positive impact on our communities and I fully support it. Short term, this bill will bring much needed relief to small cemeteries and their caretakers.

I can't believe this bill is happening, it's so unfair and wrong. Why would they do this? It's not right. #notcool
