Operators of all cemeteries hereafter established shall, within ninety days from the establishment thereof, elect to operate each cemetery as an endowed care cemetery, or as a nonendowed cemetery. Such election for newly established cemeteries shall be filed with the division, on a form provided by the division. Any such election made subsequent to August 28, 1994, shall be accompanied by a filing fee set by the division, and such fee shall be deposited in the endowed care cemetery audit fund as defined in section 193.265. The fee authorized in this subsection shall not be required from an existing nonendowed cemetery.
