AI Summary

  • Adds a new subsection allowing the duty to bury a deceased service member to devolve to a person authorized by the decedent on a Department of Defense DD Form 93 (record of emergency data), giving service members control over funeral arrangements.

  • Shifts subsection references throughout the statute to accommodate the new service member provision, renumbering former subsections H through K to become I through L.

  • Clarifies that when a person charged with a decedent's death has charges dismissed or resolved in their favor, they are responsible only for actual burial costs rather than double the expenses.

  • Maintains existing priority order for burial duties (spouse, power of attorney holder, parents, adult children, etc.) while establishing that service member designations take precedence under the new provision.
