Summary

The bill establishes a program where the state matches every dollar raised locally for veterans cemetery maintenance, up to $250,000 per cemetery each fiscal year. Cemeteries must apply to the Department of Veterans Affairs, submit annual reports, and the department will manage the matching funds and report to the Legislature. The goal is to make cemetery upkeep more financially sustainable.
