HF 1445 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Veterans burial provisions modified.

HF 1445 modifies Minnesota's veterans burial laws to clarify eligibility and adjust fees. It specifies that veterans cemeteries must serve service members who died on active duty, veterans meeting federal criteria, and their spouses or dependent children. The bill requires the veterans commissioner to set fees for spouses and children that cover actual interment costs (excluding plot value), while allowing fee waivers for people with limited income. Crucially, it eliminates all burial fees for service members who died on active duty and for eligible veterans themselves.
