The proposed bill establishes the Military Funeral Honors Grant Program, aimed at providing financial support to nonprofit veteran organizations that offer military funeral honors in New Jersey. The program will be administered by the Adjutant General of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, which will provide grants of up to $75 for each funeral service. The bill outlines that the department will develop application procedures and eligibility criteria for these grants, and it allows for the possibility of reducing the grant amount for organizations that perform services at multiple funerals on the same day, taking into account their actual expenses.

To facilitate the program, a special revolving fund known as the Military Funeral Honors Grant Fund will be created, funded by legislative appropriations, donations, and other sources. The department will manage this fund and may charge a nominal fee for grant applications, as well as claim up to five percent of the appropriated funds for administrative costs. The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting veteran organizations in providing military funeral honors, ensuring that they have the necessary resources to fulfill this vital service.
