NY S08791

Modifies certification requirements for establishing New York state veterans' cemeteries by removing the requirement that the veterans remembrance and cemetery maintenance fund be certified before investigations and studies begin.

Changes the funding assurance period from 15 years to 10 years for non-reimbursable costs related to future operation and maintenance of state veterans' cemeteries.

Allows the veterans remembrance and cemetery maintenance fund to be included as part of the funding source for certifying sufficient moneys to establish cemeteries.

Removes references to "perpetual care" from the certification requirements and instead focuses on operation and maintenance costs only.

Requires the Division of Veterans' Services to make information about the veterans remembrance and cemetery maintenance fund widely available to the public through its website and mobile application.
