AN ACT APPROPRIATING FUNDS TO THE NEGLECTED CEMETERY ACCOUNT AND CONCERNING CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF WARTIME VETERANS' GRAVES.

Summary

The law directs every city and town in Connecticut to name a three‑person veteran committee each year to ensure graves of wartime veterans are properly cared for, and makes the municipality responsible for paying maintenance when private parties do not. It also creates a grant program, run by the Department of Consumer Protection, to help fund this work and sets up email accounts for the public to report problems in both city‑run and privately‑run cemeteries. Additional reporting and record‑keeping rules are added for cemetery associations.
