H.B. No. 1875 mandates a study by the General Land Office, in collaboration with the Texas Veterans Commission, to investigate the challenges veterans face in accessing burial plots at veterans cemeteries in Texas. The study will also explore potential improvements to the operational needs of these cemeteries, including their locations and maintenance. A report summarizing the findings and recommendations for legislative or other actions is required to be submitted by April 1, 2026, to key legislative leaders.
The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and will expire on September 1, 2027. This timeline allows for the completion of the study and the implementation of any necessary changes based on the findings.
