Key Points

Requires the Veterans Affairs Secretary to send Congress a report every year on the National Cemetery Administration, starting within 1 year of the law taking effect.
The report must count burials at each open national cemetery and break them out by who was eligible and whether remains were casketed or cremated.
The report must include customer satisfaction results, maps of national and certain state/tribal veterans cemeteries, and a plain description of burial options at each open national cemetery.
The report must list construction work finished and planned at national cemeteries, plus how many unclaimed veterans’ remains were buried and where.
VA must also report on cemetery-related grants (including who got them, the dollar amount, and what the money is for) and post the full report online in a public digital format.
