What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes the rules so that veterans or their families who receive an urn or commemorative plaque from the Department of Veterans Affairs can still get a headstone, marker, or other burial benefits like being buried in a national cemetery. Right now, if someone asks for an urn or plaque, they give up their right to those other burial benefits. The bill would let them receive both.
