     9  ability  of  the  crematory  or  crematorium to be operated by a funeral
    10  entity, to another location within the local  authority  which  approved
    11  the  creation  of  the crematory or crematorium, provided that the local
    12  authority approves such relocation and the relocation does not otherwise
    13  conflict with the limitations set forth in article fifteen of  the  not-
    14  for-profit corporation law.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
