 4 this section, "agent in control of the disposition of remains" means the
 5 person responsible or designated to control the disposition of a
 6 deceased veteran's remains as defined and outlined in section forty-two
 7 hundred one of the public health law who has knowledge of a veteran's
 8 desire to be buried in a veterans' cemetery and can provide evidence of
 9 the military service of the decedent which shall be furnished in the
 10 manner and form prescribed by the state commissioner.
 11 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of local law, law, rule or
 12 regulation to the contrary, any agent in control of the disposition of

 17 2007, is amended to read as follows:
 18 (ix) a close friend or relative who is reasonably familiar with the
 19 decedent's wishes, including the decedent's religious or moral beliefs,
 20 when no one higher on this list is reasonably available, willing, or

 22 statement pursuant to subdivision seven of this section]; or
 23 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
