Amends the Illinois Pre-Need Cemetery Sales Act.

Limits certain provisions concerning payment under pre-need contracts to pre-need contracts entered into prior to the effective date of the amendatory Act.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
In provisions amending the Illinois Pre-Need Cemetery Sales Act, provides that an agreement or contract for or a private sale of a casket, urn, or floral arrangement shall not be deemed a pre-need sales contract or a pre-need sale under specified circumstances.

 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Office of the Comptroller)
 HB 3486 (H-AM 1) will have no direct fiscal impact on the Office of the Comptroller. In regards to allowing for pre-need sales funds to be deposited without corporate fiduciary protections, we believe this change would put funds at greater risk and potentially expose consumers to higher or hidden fees associated with these deposits. Therefore, there would be a negative fiscal impact on consumers.

 Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Financial & Professional Regulation)
 The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation anticipates HB 3486 (H-AM 1) to have a fiscal impact of $207,238 based off costs projected for additional staffing needs.
