BACKGROUND: 

The boards of county commissioners of the several counties in which human remains are buried or interred, as provided in subsection 1, are authorized to grant and to issue written permits for the disinterment and removal of any such human remains referred to in subsection 1, whenever in their judgment the public health will not be endangered by such disinterment and removal; but no such permit shall be granted or issued under any circumstances or at any time where the person or persons buried or interred have died from or with any contagious or loathsome disease.

This resolution authorizes the Chair of the Clark County Commission to execute permits for the disinterment and the removal of human remains for the purpose of transporting the remains out of state as long as the death certificate indicates that the person’s death was not due to a communicable disease and the public health will not be endangered by such disinterment and removal.

Approval of this item will also ratify prior permits issued by commissioners.
