This bill mandates that the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) provide monthly reports to 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. The reports will only be released after a representative of the deceased has signed a waiver permitting the disclosure of this information. Additionally, the bill allows for the electronic transmission and receipt of these reports and waivers, ensuring a more efficient process.

The bill also stipulates that the information contained in the monthly reports and waivers will be confidential and will not be considered a government record, thus exempting it from the Open Public Records Act. The definition of a "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 maintaining the privacy of the individuals involved.
