SF388

The legislative bill SF No 388 introduced in the Minnesota Senate aims to support veterans and their families by eliminating the burial fees at state veterans cemeteries for the spouses and dependent children of eligible veterans. Additionally, the bill amends certain statutes to authorize the use of funds for various veterans-related services and programs, including grants to veterans service organizations, outreach for underserved veterans, and aid for families. The bill also specifies that funds will be allocated to cover the costs of burials wherein fees are waived. This measure will ensure that the burial expenses for the families of veterans who might not afford them are supported by the state, demonstrating a commitment to honor those who served the country and their families.
