Revises provisions relating to veterans. (BDR 37-1046)
SB 399 removes fees for spouses of veterans buried in Nevada's state veterans' cemeteries. The bill amends existing law (NRS 417.210) to explicitly prohibit the Director of Veterans Services from charging a fee for the interment of a veteran's spouse, while maintaining fee-free burial for veterans themselves and other immediate family members. This directly affects spouses of eligible veterans seeking burial in state-operated veterans' cemeteries. The key mechanism is a clear statutory change to the fee structure, ensuring spouses are exempt from costs that may have previously applied. The bill does not alter eligibility requirements or burial procedures for veterans or other family members.
