Oklahoma SB1354 establishes a program for eligible veterans to receive a headstone or marker and creates a burial grant fund.

Oklahoma SB1354 mandates the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs to establish a program providing eligible veterans with a proper memorial headstone or marker. The program includes a burial grant for those who meet specific criteria, such as being a resident of Oklahoma, having been honorably discharged, and not qualifying for federal benefits. The Oklahoma Veterans Commission will create necessary rules for the program's implementation. Additionally, the bill creates a revolving fund, the "National Guard Veteran Burial Revolving Fund," to support these efforts.
