STATE OF HAWAII

 


 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

RELATING TO THE WAIPAHU CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL.

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. In 1996, $220,000 was appropriated for the planning and construction of a memorial incorporating an existing memorial in Waipahu honoring veterans who lost their lives in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and Operation Desert Storm, $20,000 of which was expended for planning. However, with the change of administration in 2002, the remaining $200,000 lapsed. In order to honor the service of our brave veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice, this effort should not be allowed to falter.

The purpose of the Act is to appropriate funds for the planning and construction of the Waipahu centennial memorial.

SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $300,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2005-2006, for planning and construction of the Waipahu centennial memorial.

SECTION 3. The sum appropriated shall be expended by the department of defense for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2005.

INTRODUCED BY:
