SD 449 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to headstones for long-serving or perished members of the Massachusetts National Guard

This bill requires the Massachusetts Commission of Veteran's Service to provide headstones for deceased members of the Massachusetts National Guard who either served 10 or more years or perished while performing duties. Headstones must match those offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The policy directly affects eligible deceased National Guard members and their families by ensuring access to standardized headstones through a state commission. It creates a new administrative duty for the commission without altering existing federal benefits.
