To temporarily expand the authorized uses of grants awarded under the Veterans Legacy Program of the National Cemetery Administration, and for other purposes.

This bill would allow groups that receive Veterans Legacy Program grants to use that money to help the Secretary of Veterans Affairs find unclaimed or abandoned human remains believed to be those of veterans. Grant funds could also be used to help confirm whether the remains belong to a veteran and to bury them in a national cemetery. This expanded use would last from the date the bill becomes law until the end of the second fiscal year that begins after that date. The President's annual budget request could not ask for extra money for these new uses beyond what would otherwise be requested for the program.
