The bill proposes the creation of a burial medallion program for veterans in North Dakota, specifically aimed at recognizing members of the National Guard and National Guard Reserve. A new section is added to chapter 37-18 of the North Dakota Century Code, defining a "medallion" as a small, durable marker that can be affixed to an existing headstone or grave marker to signify a veteran's status.

The Department of Veterans' Affairs is tasked with establishing and administering this program, which will provide a medallion to eligible National Guard or National Guard Reserve members who are not buried in the state veterans' cemetery and do not qualify for other medallions from state or federal veterans affairs departments. This initiative aims to honor the service of these veterans and ensure their contributions are recognized, even if they are not interred in designated veterans' cemeteries.
