Burials of indigent veterans-amendments.

Summary

The bill expands eligibility for burial assistance to veterans who qualify for aid under the Department of Family Services and raises the maximum amount the state will pay. Counties can now request reimbursement for preparation, transport, and burial expenses, but the state payment is still limited to $1,500 per veteran. This change aims to ensure that veterans without funds receive dignified burials while easing the financial burden on local governments.
