## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Delaware cemetery fund audits required less often: cost, low. Delaware's Distressed Cemetery Fund must be audited at least once every 5 years, instead of every year. The law also updates the auditing office's name from State Auditor’s Office to Office of Auditor of Accounts. It does not directly change household benefits, costs, or eligibility.
