Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act
This bill, S 5221 (Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act), removes specific date restrictions for veterans' families seeking government-furnished headstones or markers. It amends a law (38 U.S.C. § 2306(b)(2)) to eliminate two time limits: deaths occurring on or after November 11, 1998, and deaths before September 30, 2025. This change expands eligibility to include veterans who died during the previously excluded periods. The policy directly affects families of deceased veterans who were previously ineligible for these headstones or markers due to those date restrictions.
