House Bill No. by Representative Hebert aims to amend the existing law regarding the interment of remains for individuals who die while serving in the United States Armed Forces, the United States Reserve Forces, or the National Guard. The bill introduces new provisions under R.S. 8:659(C) and (D), which grant the authority to control the interment of such individuals' remains to the Person Authorized to Direct Disposition (PADD) as indicated on the United States Department of Defense Record of Emergency Data, known as a DD Form 93. This provision applies specifically to decedents who die in a manner described by 10 U.S.C. 1481(a)(1) through (8) and have executed a DD Form 93.

Additionally, the bill limits liability for cemetery authorities, funeral establishments, and their employees when they act based on the instructions provided by the PADD as indicated on the DD Form 93. It also clarifies that in cases where a decedent has multiple notarial testaments or notarized declarations, the most recent document will control the interment of their remains. If a decedent has both a testament and a DD Form 93, the document dated last will dictate the control of interment.
