    In Texas the cemetery lobby is attempting to pass legislation regulating online brokers of cemetery property. (My business does not buy/sell online, but a great many like Gravesolutions etc and Craigslist do list cemetery property) Anyone who assists a lot owner to sell his cemetery property is included in the definition of “Cemetery Broker” in a proposed bill (HB2369) that would require Regisration as a Broker with the State of Texas. This Bill is purportedly aimed at ONLINE BROKERS OF CEMETERY PROPERTY. All of them are National.

    Is this even constitutional? What laws are currently in place re this sort of thing?
