Title: General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Greenwood Cemetery Association for renovation and repair
Status: Died In Committee

Purpose and intent

SB 2901 would have authorized a General Fund appropriation in fiscal year 2026 to the Greenwood Cemetery Association to fund renovation and repair of cemetery facilities. The bill’s stated intent was to provide state support for physical improvements to Greenwood Cemetery — for example, structural repairs, grounds maintenance, accessibility upgrades, or preservation of historic features — to preserve the site and address safety, public-access, or preservation needs.

Key provisions

Appropriation: Directs a General Fund appropriation in FY2026 to the Greenwood Cemetery Association for renovation and repair work.
Use of funds: Limited to renovation and repair activities for the Greenwood Cemetery Association (specific eligible projects, procurement, reporting, or oversight provisions were not included in the available summary).

Note: The bill text made available does not specify the dollar amount, line-item detail, matching requirements, timelines for expenditure, or reporting and accountability measures.

Who would be affected

Greenwood Cemetery Association: primary recipient and implementer of renovation/repair work.
Local community and cemetery users: would benefit from improved safety, access, and preservation of gravesites and grounds.
Contractors and vendors: potential recipients of construction/maintenance contracts.
State General Fund: appropriation would reduce available General Fund resources by the amount authorized.
