The proposed bill establishes the Military Funeral Honors Grant Program, which aims to provide 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 grant program, a special revolving fund known as the Military Funeral Honors Grant Fund will be established. This fund will receive appropriations from the Legislature, donations, and other sources of revenue. The department will also have the authority to charge a nominal application fee and can allocate up to five percent of the appropriated funds for administrative expenses. The bill emphasizes the importance of supporting veteran organizations in providing military funeral honors and aims to streamline the process for accessing these funds.
