CHAPTER 1147

SENATE BILL 1353

 

 

AN ACT TO AMEND G.S. 58-224.2, RELATING TO THE TRANSFER OF BENEFITS OF A DECEASED MEMBER OF A MUTUAL BURIAL ASSOCIATION.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 58-224.2, as the same appears in the 1973 Cumulative Supplement to Volume 2B of the General Statutes, is amended by rewriting the second sentence of the second paragraph thereof, which now reads as follows:

"The Commission is authorized and directed to adopt specific rules and regulations to provide for the orderly transfer of a member's benefits in cash or merchandise and services from the official funeral director of the member's association to the official funeral director of any other mutual burial association in good standing under the provisions of this Article." so that said sentence will read as follows:

"The Commission is authorized and directed to adopt specific rules and regulations to provide for the orderly transfer of a member's benefits in cash or merchandise and services from the official funeral director of the member's association to any funeral establishment registered under the provisions of G.S. 90-210.17 and which furnishes a funeral service, or merchandise, or both, for the burial of the member."

Sec. 2.  The provisions of this act shall apply to all mutual burial association policies heretofore or hereafter issued under the provisions of this Article.

Sec. 3.  This act shall be effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 4th day of April, 1974.
