Senate Bill 810 proposes an amendment to the reimbursement structure for military funeral honors provided by local units of veterans organizations in Wisconsin. Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs reimburses these organizations up to $50 for each funeral where military honors are rendered. The bill seeks to increase this reimbursement amount to $100 per funeral, thereby enhancing the financial support for organizations that provide these important services to deceased military members.

The amendment specifically modifies section 45.60 (2) of the statutes, replacing the existing reimbursement cap of $50 with a new cap of $100. This change aims to better support the local units of member organizations of the council on veterans programs and certified veterans organizations in their efforts to honor the service of deceased military personnel.
