Bill Summary

AN ACT to create and enact a new section to chapter 37-18 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the creation of a burial medallion program for veterans.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a new burial medallion program for veterans through the North Dakota Department of Veterans' Affairs. Specifically, the bill defines a "medallion" as a small, durable marker that can be attached to an existing headstone or grave marker to indicate a veteran's service status. The program is designed to provide medallions to National Guard or National Guard Reserve members who are not buried in the state veterans' cemetery and do not currently qualify for a medallion from state or federal veterans' affairs departments. The purpose of the medallion appears to be recognizing and honoring the service of these specific veterans by providing a marker that can be added to their existing grave marker, ensuring their military service is visibly acknowledged.
