Honor guard detail provided, and eligibility modified for burial in state veterans cemeteries.

Expanded eligibility to include any member of a reserve component of the armed forces, not just the Army or Air National Guard, provided they completed at least one full term of service and received an honorable discharge.

Narrowed the definition of an honorable discharge to explicitly exclude a 'general (under honorable conditions)' characterization of service.

Added a new provision stating that applicants convicted under United States Code title 18, section 704 (stolen valor) are ineligible for burial.

Clarified that a surviving spouse's eligibility is not lost if they remarry after the service member's death.

Required the commissioner to establish a verification process for stolen valor convictions by January 1, 2027.

Updated the definition of 'minor child' to include those under 23 if pursuing full-time education and redefined 'unmarried adult child' to include those disabled before age 21 or 23 while in school.
