AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 9 of Chapter 115 of the General Laws, which deals with veterans' affairs, by changing the reimbursement rate for Memorial Day flags placed on veterans' graves. Currently, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts reimburses 75% of the cost of these flags. The bill seeks to increase this reimbursement to 90% of the cost, but only if the flags are manufactured within Massachusetts.
