Establishes a centralized system within the Department of Veterans Affairs for storing information on unclaimed veterans' remains.
The Locating Our Unclaimed Veterans Act mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to create a centralized system for storing information about unclaimed veterans' remains. This system will include data from coroners, state governments, and funeral homes. The Secretary may enter into memoranda of understanding with federal agencies to identify veterans' remains and determine next-of-kin. The system will expire three fiscal years after enactment. The Secretary must submit annual reports on the system's implementation and outreach activities.
