In Committee

Summary

Creates an annual, public report that makes the National Cemetery Administration's burial counts, memorials, grants, maps, and construction plans transparent. The report would list interments by each open national cemetery, by eligible-person category and by casketed versus cremated remains, and it would include customer satisfaction data, cemetery maps, counts of memorial items furnished, completed and planned construction projects, unclaimed remains, and details on grants to State and tribal cemeteries. Initial and subsequent reports must be provided to the House and Senate Committees on Veterans' Affairs and posted in digital form on a public Department of Veterans Affairs website.
