Currently, when requested by the commander of any recognized veterans' organization, military commander, or by any friend or relative of a deceased person or the director of a funeral home for any deceased person who served in the Armed Forces of the United States during a time of war or is otherwise entitled to military honors at the person's burial, internment or memorial service, the Adjutant General must order the appropriate requested uniformed honor detail to attend and render the appropriate services or request and coordinate the appropriate detail with a recognized veterans' organization. The amount paid to the veterans' organizations is determined by the Adjutant General.
This bill removes the authority to determine the amount of compensation from the Adjutant General and instead makes the amount $200 dollars for each military honor performance.
