To require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to disinter the remains of Fernando V. Cota from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Texas, and for other purposes.

This section requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to disinter the remains of Fernando V. Cota from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in Texas. This action must be completed within one year after the date the bill is enacted into law. This provision directly mandates a specific action by the VA regarding a particular individual's burial site.

This provision stipulates that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs cannot proceed with the disinterment mandated in subsection (a) until the next of kin of Fernando V. Cota has been officially notified. This ensures that the family is aware of and has an opportunity to respond to the planned disinterment before any action is taken.

After the disinterment is carried out, this section outlines the process for the disposition of Fernando V. Cota's remains. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs is required to either relinquish the remains to the next of kin who were notified under subsection (b), or, if no next of kin responds to the notification, the Secretary must arrange for the disposition of the remains as deemed appropriate. This ensures a clear legal pathway for the final handling of the disinterred remains.
