Bill > HR10076

This bill, titled the "Bertie's Respect for National Cemeteries Act," aims to ensure consistency in prohibiting the interment or memorialization in the National Cemetery Administration or Arlington National Cemetery of individuals who have committed federal or state capital crimes. It requires the appropriate federal official to take reasonable actions, including searching public records, to verify the eligibility of individuals for such interment. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to disinter the remains of George E. Siple from Indiantown Gap National Cemetery and relinquish them to his next-of-kin or arrange for appropriate disposition if the next-of-kin is unavailable.
