Requires every cemetery authority to choose the distribution of either of the following from a care fund: all net ordinary income; or a unitrust disbursement not exceeding 5% of the fair market value of the care fund. Requires the distribution method and the disbursement percentage selected to remain in effect unless the cemetery authority notifies the trustee and the Comptroller of its desire to effect a change. Requires a distribution from the care fund to be made on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis, as agreed upon by the cemetery authority and the trustee. Provides that in order to withdraw a unitrust disbursement, the fair market value of the care fund after the disbursement shall be greater than 80% of the aggregate fair market value of the care fund as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year. Requires the trustee to pay reasonable operating expenses and taxes of the care fund itself. Provides that the provisions do not apply to a fraternal cemetery, a municipal, State, or federal cemetery, a religious cemetery, or a family burying ground.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
