S 2361 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DMVA notify certain veteran organizations and county officers and municipal registers of names of persons buried or cremated in State veteran cemeteries.

This bill (S 2361) requires New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs (DMVA) to proactively share burial and cremation details of veterans interred in state veteran cemeteries with specific groups. It directly affects the DMVA (which must implement the notifications), veteran service organizations (like the American Legion), and county officials or municipal registers (who will receive the information). The key mechanism is a new requirement added to the DMVA's duties: the department must provide these burial/cremation records to the designated entities upon request or as part of routine operations. This ensures local officials and veteran groups have access to cemetery records for administrative or commemorative purposes.
