Title: Prohibition of Interment or Memorialization in National Cemeteries and Certain State Cemeteries Due to Commission of Capital Crimes | |
Abstract: This final rule amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulations to implement section 662 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-163). Section 662 of the Act prohibits interment and memorialization in a national or State veterans cemetery of certain persons who have been convicted of a Federal or State capital crime and whose conviction is final, unless such a persons sentence was commuted by the President or the Governor of a State. The final rule implements statutory provisions to ensure that the remains of certain persons who have committed Federal or State capital crimes are not interred or memorialized in a national or State veterans cemetery. | |
