show as of the end of the preceding calendar year:
(1)
the amount of the principal of the care funds held by the trustee of the
care funds of the cemetery authority at the beginning of the year and in addition thereto
all money or property received during the year:
(a) under and by virtue of the sale of a lot, grave, crypt or niche;
(b) under and by virtue of the terms of any contract authorized by law; or
(c) under and by virtue of any gift, grant, devise, bequest, payment or other

Care Cemetery Act;
(2)
the securities in which the care funds are invested and the cash on hand
as of the date of the report;
(3)
the income received from the care funds during the preceding calendar
year; and
(4)
the amount expended in furnishing endowed care during the preceding
calendar year.
B. If any of the care funds of a cemetery authority are held by a trustee, the annual
registration statement filed by a cemetery authority shall contain a certificate signed by
the trustee of the care funds of the cemetery authority certifying to the truthfulness of
the statements in the report as to:
(1)
the total amount of principal of the care funds held by the trustee;
(2)
the securities in which the care funds are invested and the cash on hand

C. Annual registration statements shall be filed by the cemetery authority on or
before June 30 of each calendar year in the office of the director. The registration
statement shall be made under oath. Each registration statement shall be accompanied
by a fee of fifty dollars ($50.00), and the director shall not accept a registration
statement unless it is accompanied by the payment of the fee.
D. The director shall charge and collect a fee of ten dollars ($10.00) per day for late
filings of registration statements up to a maximum of three hundred dollars ($300). This
late charge shall also apply when the cemetery authority is required by the director to
revise a registration by a specified date and fails to file the revised registration on or
before that date.
