by third parties. The bill has been

Two bills protecting cemeteries
across the state are moving through
the legislative process. House Bill
572 provides opportunities for run-
down cemeteries to restore and clean
up their properties through a grant
program set up in the Attorney Gen-
eral's Office. The bill allows people
to donate to cemetery preservation
by checking a box on their income
tax returns. The measure also estab-
lishes an annual cemetery cleanup
week to coincide with Memorial Day.
This is legislation recommended by
the Task Force on the Preservation
of Kentucky Cemeteries. It was ap-
proved by the full House House Bill
521 requires owners of cemeteries to
be responsible for the protection of
the property from damage and dese-
cration. Last week, members of the
House Committee on Local Govern-
ment passed it.
Other bills approved by House
members last week include House
Bill 417, a measure that allows cities
of the first class to control expansion
of manufactured housing communi-
ties. The bill was sent to the Senate
for consideration.
A compromise regarding the pro-
visions of House Bill 40, the biodie-
sel fuel legislation was also approved
by House members last week. Biodie-
sel fuel is a vegetable base blend of
diesel that means federal mandate
for the reduction of sulfur emissions.
In addition, ft will prove to be a shot
in the arm for Kentucky farmers rais-
ing the vegetable base blend. The
compromise allows the fuel to be
• phased in through 2007, allowing
businesses affected by the bill to
prepare for the change.
One measure passing the House
this week was House Bill 452, which
requires those convicted of crimes in
Kentucky to pay a flat fee of $ ! 00 to
cover court costs, in addition to any
fines that person is ordered to pay.
The fee would replace a hodgepodge
of current court fees, which has cre-
ated confusion in the court system.
Court clerks are expected to receive
$9 million more per year under HB
452, which passed 53-41 and now
goes to the Senate.
House Concurrent Resolution 69
calls for a study on long range plan-
ning for improving teacher's bene-
fits. It was approved and sent to the
Senate for action.
Bills approved by House mem-
bers include:
HB 104 is a measure that allows
heart and lung disease to be consid-
ered a job-related illness for a fire-
fighter working longer than five
years.
HB 166 directs the Kentucky Eco-
nomic Development Finance Au-
thority to give priority consideration
for economic development incen-
tives to counties with unemployment
rates of 15 percent or greater.
HB 560 allows Kentucky to rec-
ognize out of state license to carry
concealed deadly weapons until its
expiration.
