The task force would meet monthly throughout 2026 and submit recommendations to the state legislature by December 1, 2026. It does not create new laws on its own but is a first step toward potential future action on cemetery upkeep and preservation. Who it may affect: families with relatives buried in neglected or abandoned cemeteries, local communities, and historians or preservationists concerned with burial sites across Kentucky.
