I also know of a local cemetery which has disappeared (moved?) since 1989.

Many of our representatives are online, and it would only take a moment to copy their e-mail addresses into your address books. The Kentucky Legislature Home Page is: http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/home.html. Each State Senator and Representative for your district will be listed, with their home addresses, and in most cases, their e-mail addresses. I suspect that some of you are even now attempting to haunt your representatives with similar requests. If not, please consider contacting your reps now. --part1_f5a7286f.24436238_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <CCCPC-return-55-1785665@listbot.com> Received: from rly-yb02.mx.aol.com (rly-yb02.mail.aol.com [172.18.146.2]) by air-yb04.mail.aol.com (v59.4) with SMTP; Fri, 09 Apr 1999 15:14:39 -0400 Received: from lbmail2.linkexchange.com (lbmail2.linkexchange.com [216.32.177.247]) by rly-yb02.mx.aol.com (8.8.8/8.8.5/AOL-4.0.0) with SMTP id PAA16006 for <Susiwood@aol.com>; Fri, 9 Apr 1999 15:14:37 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail 15829 invoked by uid 100); 9 Apr 1999 19:14:58 -0000 Mailing-List: ListBot mailing list contact CCCPC-help@listbot.com Delivered-To: mailing list CCCPC@listbot.com Received: (qmail 23068 invoked from network); 9 Apr 1999 19:14:29 -0000 Received: from mtiwmhc04.worldnet.att.net (204.127.131.39) by www61.linkexchange.com with SMTP; 9 Apr 1999 19:14:29 -0000 Received: from lois ([12.75.201.30]) by mtiwmhc04.worldnet.att.net (InterMail v03.02.07 118 124) with SMTP id <19990409191351.JTWA21216@lois> for <CCCPC@listbot.com>; Fri, 9 Apr 1999 19:13:51 +0000 Message-ID: <005501be82bd$ac578800$5b84fea9@lois> Reply-To: "Lois Mauk" <LawOfficeInformationSystem@worldnet.att.net> From: "Lois Mauk" <LawOfficeInformationSystem@worldnet.att.net> To: "CCCPC" <CCCPC@listbot.com> Subject: Next Stop for HB 1522 -- Execution by the Governor Date: Fri, 9 Apr 1999 15:17:48 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Clark County Cemetery Preservation Committee - http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/5881 As you know, the single "cemetery protection" bill (out of 10 proposed) to survive the 1999 Indiana General Assembly session was House Bill 1522. HB 1522 passed the House several weeks ago and, earlier this week, it passed the Senate. The vote was 49-0 (there are 50 State Senators), so the vote was practically unanimous. I just received word that Rep. Markt Lytle (author of House Bill 1522) was aware of the Senate's amendments to HB 1522 and supported them being added in the Senate. Yesterday, he was to file a "concurrence" on the bill. (This is done when the bill's author is in agreement with the legislation in its current form.) As such, the next step is Governor O'Bannon signing it. This Bill will soon be signed into law. Further action will being studied this summer in the Natural Resources' summer study committee, details on which are forthcoming. I am SO pleased and proud that we've been successful in persuading the Legislature to pass this Bill. Though it falls short of accomplishing all of our goals, it remains an important and historic first step in the right direction. When HB 1522 is enacted, it will make it "illegal" to damage, deface or destroy any gravestone or cemetery marker, whether it is on public or private property and it will REMOVE the exemption previously granted to anyone involved in "any form of agriculture" to obliterate all visible signs of a cemetery. There are other provisions as well; further details at http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp , which I will try to update tonight to reflect today's good news. Thanks to all of you for all your efforts and good wishes. I am so proud of all of you for everything you've done here in Indiana and elsewhere and genuinely appreciate the support you've given to this effort.
