Directing the state registrar of vital statistics to provide death certificates to survivors of deceased veterans with a service-connected disability that state in such certificates the relationship between the cause of death and the service-connected disability of such veterans.

Summary

The measure directs the state registrar of vital statistics to create a confidential roster of Kansas veterans with service‑connected disabilities and to use that list when preparing death certificates. When a veteran with such a disability dies, the certifier must state on the certificate whether the cause of death is related to the disability, and two free copies must be given to the next of kin. The goal is to give families clear documentation of any service‑related factor in a veteran’s death.
