This bill mandates that the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) provide monthly reports to certain veteran organizations, county officers, and municipal registers regarding the names of individuals who have been buried or cremated in State veteran cemeteries during the previous month. To ensure privacy, the bill stipulates that a representative of the deceased must sign a waiver permitting the release of this information. Additionally, the DMVA is authorized to transmit and receive these reports and waivers electronically.

The bill also emphasizes that the monthly reports and waivers will be confidential and will not be considered government records, thus exempting them from the Open Public Records Act. The definition of "veteran organization" is specified to include those that qualify as tax-exempt under sections 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as federally chartered Veterans Service Organizations. This legislative change aims to enhance communication and support for veteran organizations while protecting the privacy of individuals and their families.
