Bill overview
This bill, the US Navy SEAL SCPO Tyrone Snowden Woods Ceremony Invitee Act of 2019, aims to ensure that next-of-kin are properly invited to memorial services for U.S. government personnel, including members of the Armed Forces and contractors, serving at diplomatic missions. It requires the Department of State to create a policy allowing members to designate their next-of-kin and to make forms available for this purpose. If a member doesn't designate their next-of-kin before death, all next-of-kin will be invited to the memorial service.
