Summary
The bill orders the Department of Veterans Affairs to set up a single portal that stores information about human remains that may belong to veterans and are currently unclaimed. It would collect data from coroners, state agencies and funeral homes, and use identifiers like names and fingerprints to help locate next‑of‑kin. Annual reports would track the system’s use and how many remains are identified.
