Veterans Cemetery burial eligibility expansion
Summary
Right now you can only be buried in the county Veterans Cemetery if you enlisted as a Sullivan County resident or live here now. The fix would add property owners — helping long-time taxpayers like a part-time resident who enlisted in Queens but has owned county property since 1956.

Impact analysis
Minimal cost — it's a rules change that could bring more burials to a cemetery the county already operates and is expanding.
Part-time residents and snowbirds who own county property, their families, and any veteran previously turned away.
