Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

  In the Cemetery Oversight Act that was spoken about yesterday, there is, in the definitional section the following language, ""Department" means the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation." This language is not included in the snippets that I have included in the "Law Updates" page. The question you may have is why is this important?

  To begin with, this Department is the agency that a consumer would report any violations of the Act directly to. In addition to acting as the executive branch to enforce the Act, the Department has created a pamphlet to help consumers who are both choosing a cemetery and those wishing to ensure that the their loved ones are properly cared for. The link for this pamphlet is  http://www.idfpr.com/cemetery/cemeteryconsumerrights.pdf
