The bill proposes the creation of a burial medallion program for veterans, specifically targeting members of the National Guard and National Guard Reserve who are not buried in the state veterans' cemetery and do not qualify for other medallions from state or federal veterans' affairs departments. A new section will be added to chapter 37-18 of the North Dakota Century Code to outline this program.

Under the new provisions, a "medallion" is defined as a small, durable marker that can be attached 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, ensuring that eligible veterans receive the recognition they deserve.
