Bill > SB399

This bill modifies existing Nevada law regarding veterans' cemetery interment by eliminating the fee for a veteran's spouse's burial. Currently, the Director of the Department of Veterans Services is required to charge a fee for interring family members in state veterans' cemeteries, with the fee not exceeding the actual cost of interment. The proposed change specifically prohibits charging any fee for a veteran's spouse's burial, while maintaining existing provisions that allow eligible veterans and their immediate family members (defined as spouse, minor child, or unmarried adult child) to be interred in state veterans' cemeteries without charge. The bill aims to reduce financial burden on veterans' families by removing the cost associated with burying a spouse in a veterans' cemetery, recognizing the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families. This change applies to veterans who are eligible for interment in a national cemetery, as defined by federal regulations, and who can be buried in a state veterans' cemetery.
