Bill > SB1355

This bill requires the Oklahoma Military Department to create a program to provide a memorial headstone, marker, or medallion, or a $200 reimbursement for one, to eligible Oklahoma National Guard members who have served at least six years, died as a resident of Oklahoma, and were honorably discharged, provided they do not already qualify for a headstone or marker under federal law (specifically referencing 38 U.S.C., Section 2306, which outlines federal provisions for headstones and markers for deceased veterans). The program will also include a burial grant for eligible veterans and those qualifying for reimbursement, and the Military Department will establish an application process and the Adjutant General can create necessary rules for its implementation, with the act becoming effective on November 1, 2026.
