Bill > HB2386

This bill establishes new procedures for handling unclaimed remains of veterans by specifying the roles and responsibilities of veterans' remains coordinators and county veterans' service officers. Specifically, these officials will be required to carry out their duties related to unclaimed veterans' remains according to rules that will be adopted by the Department of Veterans' Affairs. The bill also grants the Department of Veterans' Affairs the authority to create administrative rules to implement the provisions of the existing statutes (ORS 97.231 to 97.243) governing unclaimed veterans' remains. While the bill does not provide extensive details about the specific procedures, it appears to be focused on providing clear guidelines and regulatory framework for managing the remains of deceased veterans who might otherwise be buried without proper recognition or assistance.
