Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB130 establishes procedures for notifying county directors of veterans affairs about deceased servicepersons and providing families.

Pennsylvania SB130 amends Title 51 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to add provisions regarding burial benefits for deceased servicepersons. It mandates that licensed funeral directors, funeral entities, or cemetery companies notify the county director of veterans affairs within 96 hours of receiving the remains of a deceased serviceperson who had legal residence in the county at the time of death. The bill also requires these entities to provide the deceased's family with the contact information for the county director of veterans affairs.
