This bill, the Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act, changes a line in Title 38 of the U.S. Code. It removes the phrase "who dies on or after November 11, 1998," from two subparts of section 2306(b)(2). As written, that change would allow certain individuals who died before November 11, 1998 to become eligible for headstones, markers, and burial receptacles provided under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The bill text does not explain which "certain individuals" are affected beyond the amendment to that section.
If you are an eligible family member or representative of someone who died before November 11, 1998, this bill could make that person eligible for a VA-provided headstone, marker, or burial receptacle. The change removes the date cutoff from the cited parts of the law, which may expand who can receive those items. Exact eligibility rules remain in the underlying law and are not changed elsewhere in the provided text.
