HR 9321 United States House · 119th Congress

To temporarily expand the authorized uses of grants awarded under the Veterans Legacy Program of the National Cemetery Administration, and for other purposes.

This bill temporarily expands the Veterans Legacy Program to allow grant funds to be used for locating, identifying, and interring unclaimed or abandoned remains suspected to be those of veterans. The expansion applies to national cemeteries and runs for two fiscal years following the bill's enactment. A key provision ensures that these additional funds cannot be requested separately from existing budget allocations for the program. The legislation directly affects the Department of Veterans Affairs and the entities managing national cemeteries by providing a specific, time-limited authorization to handle these remains.
