LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Human composting received initial approval Friday in the Nevada Assembly, passing a committee vote unanimously in Carson City. Assembly Bill 289 (AB289) legalizes 'natural organic reduction,' including it in the definition of cremation. The Assembly Health and Human Services Committee sent the bill to the Assembly floor. Natural organic reduction involves putting the human body into a container with biodegradable materials that speed the transformation into nutrient-dense soil.
