SB1355

Oklahoma SB1355 creates a program for providing headstones or markers for eligible Oklahoma National Guard veterans.

Oklahoma SB1355 mandates the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs to establish a program offering headstones or markers to eligible Oklahoma National Guard veterans. To qualify, a veteran must have served at least six years, died as a state resident, been honorably discharged, and not be eligible for a federal headstone. The bill also creates a revolving fund in the State Treasury, named the "National Guard Veteran Burial Revolving Fund," to support this initiative. The Oklahoma Veterans Commission will develop necessary rules, and the act takes effect November 1, 2026.
