Proceedings in case of law violations.
If a cemetery authority refuses or neglects to make a required report or to file an
annual registration statement or willfully disobeys a valid order of the director or violates
any provisions of the Endowed Care Cemetery Act or rule of the director, or if it appears
to the director from any report or examination that a cemetery authority has committed a

unsafe or inexpedient for the cemetery authority or the trustee of the care funds of the
cemetery authority to continue to administer those funds or that any officer of the
cemetery authority or of the trustee of the care fund of the cemetery authority has
abused his trust or has been guilty of misconduct in his official position injurious to the
cemetery authority or that the cemetery authority has suffered as to its care funds a
serious loss by larceny, embezzlement, burglary, repudiation or otherwise, the director
