What this bill would do
The Final Honors Act of 2025 allows the remains of certain members of the Armed Forces to lie in honor in the United States Capitol rotunda. This applies to members who die from an injury incurred in the line of duty, provided the injury is not covered by specific exclusions. The process is triggered by a request from the primary surviving next of kin. The Secretary concerned is responsible for notifying the next of kin. Additionally, the Architect of the Capitol will manage the logistics under the direction of House and Senate leadership.
