Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act

# Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would expand who can receive a memorial headstone or marker from the government. Currently, family members of veterans or active military members (spouses, children, and dependents) can only get a government-provided memorial headstone if their loved one's remains cannot be found—but only if that person died on or after November 11, 1998. The bill would remove that date restriction, allowing families of anyone who died before 1998 to also receive this benefit. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects families of veterans and military members whose remains are unavailable or unrecovered.

This could include families affected by wars, accidents, or other situations where a service member's body was never found or recovered. By removing the date cutoff, it would extend eligibility to families of those who died in earlier conflicts, potentially going back many decades. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the House by Representative Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
