Bill Summary
This bill requires the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to provide a monthly report to veteran organizations, county officers, and municipal registers of the names of persons buried or cremated in State veteran cemeteries the previous month. The bill also requires that a representative of the person buried or cremated in a State veteran cemetery sign a waiver before the information may be released. The department may transmit and receive the reports and waivers electronically. The monthly reports and waivers will be confidential and not subject to the law commonly referred to as the open public records act. Veteran organization means a veteran organization that qualifies as a section 501(c)(3) or a 501(c)(19) tax-exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code, or a federally chartered Veterans' Service Organization.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs (DMVA) to provide a monthly report to designated veteran organizations, county officers, and municipal registers listing the names of individuals buried or cremated in State veteran cemeteries during the preceding month. A "veteran organization" is defined as a non-profit organization recognized by the IRS as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19), or a federally chartered Veterans' Service Organization. Crucially, this information will only be released after a representative of the deceased has signed a waiver allowing for the disclosure. The DMVA can exchange these reports and waivers electronically, and this information will be kept confidential, meaning it will not be accessible under the open public records act.
