S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6334 I N S E N A T E January 27, 2012 ___________ Introduced by Sen. LAVALLE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions AN ACT to amend the not-for-profit corporation law and the education law, in relation to the discovery and disposition of human remains and funerary objects; and to amend the parks, recreation and historic preservation law, in relation to requiring certain notice and consul- tation prior to the undertaking of certain projects THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "unmarked burial site protection act". S 2. Legislative findings and declaration. The legislature finds and declares that the sanctity of human burial sites is an intrinsic and paramount value among all cultural and religious traditions which prac- tice the custom of burying the dead. The legislature further finds that there are numerous unmarked burial sites throughout the state, many of which are of great cultural and historical significance to the people of the state, particularly to members of the cultural and religious groups affiliated with them. Such sites are vulnerable to unintentional disturbance in the course of construction and other activities as well as deliberate vandalism and looting. Such disturbance constitutes a severe offense against the descendants of the dead and the beliefs and traditions of the culturally-affiliated groups. The legislature finds and declares that existing laws are inadequate to protect these unmarked burial sites from disturbance, and that New York is one of the very few states which heretofore has provided no express statutory protection for unmarked burial sites. It is therefore declared to be the purpose of this act to ensure that human remains and associated funerary artifacts remain undisturbed to the maximum extent practicable, and are treated with the utmost respect consistent with the wishes of lineal descendants and culturally-affiliated groups. S 3. Section 1503 of the not-for-profit corporation law is amended by adding a new paragraph (c) to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
