Report of Commission Counsel 8
[Juan A. Ruiz, Esquire, Commission Counsel, noted a 9
proposed adjudication and order, three final 10
adjudications and orders, and five motions to enter 11
default for discussion during executive session. 12
Mr. Ruiz addressed House Bill 906, noting it to 13
be similar to Senate Bill 257 regarding land agent 14
registration. 15
Mr. Ruiz also discussed House Bill 1167, which 16
would establish the State Board of Cemetery Relief 17
Directors and the Cemetery Relief Fund. 18
Mr. Ruiz and Acting Commissioner Johnson met with 19
State Representative Keith Gillespie to discuss issues 20
concerning cemeteries and general issues concerning 21
the burial ground law. He discussed an issue raised 22
by Representative Gillespie with an abandoned cemetery 23
and investigating what can be done legislatively to 24
improve the burial ground law and preventing these 25

types of issues. 1
Acting Commissioner Johnson extended an 2
invitation to Representative Gillespie to attend Board 3
meetings and encouraged members of the General 4
Assembly to reach out with the various Boards to work 5
in conjunction with the interests and initiatives of 6
the Boards. 7
Chair Tarantino expressed his concern with the 8
requirement to become a land agent, where they have 9
less education than to become a real estate 10
salesperson and are doing broker work. Ms. Cestra 11
also commented on their being given the right to 12
transfer land and lease land without a real estate 13
license. 14
Chair Tarantino questioned whether these 15
individuals could be investigated by Mr. Michalowski 16
and penalized. 17
Mr. Ruiz referred to Section 604(a) of the RELRA, 18
noting a license or registration certificate could be 19
disciplined by the Commission. Chair Tarantino 20
suggested having the exemption to the law removed. 21
Mr. Michalowski addressed House Bill 1167. He 22
stated that Ms. Bailey has been acting as sort of a 23
cemetery specialist, looking at cemetery laws in other 24
states and ways to suggest improvement to burial 25
![Page 6: COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA · 3 *** 4 [Timothy A. Fritsch, Esquire, Commission Prosecutor, 5 presented the Consent Agreements for File No. 15-56-6 09772 and File Nos. 14-56-01583](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081611/5f075a9a7e708231d41c90f2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

grounds and the Commission’s jurisdiction in the 1
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 2
Mr. Michalowski mentioned that other states have 3
created a separate Board to deal with cemeteries, 4
rather than putting them under real estate. He noted 5
that Ms. Baily works with a lot of cemeteries that are 6
nonprofits for compliance with our law without having 7
to take disciplinary action. 8
Mr. Michalowski addressed for-profit cemeteries, 9
where the authority is there to take their business 10
away or impact their business or penalize them 11
monetarily because they are brokering sales between 12
people. He referenced the laws in Virginia. 13
Mr. Michalowski addressed cemeteries placed on 14
receivership. He noted problems with abandoned 15
cemeteries. 16
Mr. McGettigan questioned House Bill 906 17
regarding land agents and criminal background. He 18
noted the bill states criminal background will be no 19
more than one year. He suggested that the time line 20
should be within 90 days. 21
Acting Commissioner Johnson stated that all 29 of 22
the Boards have background checks as a matter of 23
policy. 24
Acting Commissioner Johnson addressed House Bill 25

906 as a way for persons who traditionally would have 1
identified as attorneys or contract agents to identify 2
themselves with the Commonwealth for the sole purpose 3
of representing an entity in the divestiture of 4
mineral rights. 5
Mr. Michalowski referred to the act, where the 6
terms employee and employment include independent 7
contractors. He noted that it has an unintended 8
consequence expanding itself out, because the law 9
states that these folks are treated like they are 10
employees of the extraction company even though they 11
are technically independent contractors. The act 12
treats independent contractors and employees, both as 13
employees.] 14

Report of Commission Chair 16
[Joseph Tarantino, Chair, Industry Member, announced 17
that the Association of Real Estate License Law 18

Report of Commissioner 11
[Kalonji Johnson, Acting Commissioner, Bureau of 12
Professional and Occupational Affairs, noted his prior 13
role as policy director for the Department of State. 14
He announced Marc Farrell will be stepping into that 15
