S.D. 1


 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

RELATING TO VETERANS.

 

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

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that a reliable and effective method of communicating important information to Hawaii's military veterans and their families is essential. Without the current veterans' newsletter, veterans from all branches of the military would lack important information regarding available outreach services, upcoming veteran-related events in the community, and the dates of various military ceremonies for veterans and their families.

Presently, the office of veterans' services, located within the state department of defense, only possesses funding to publish the newsletter until June 2006. Without additional funding, the office of veterans' services will be unable to continue to disseminate this important informational publication to all military veterans and their families.

The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to the office of veterans' services to publish and mail its quarterly Hawaii veterans' newsletter.

SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ , or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2006-2007, to publish the Hawaii veterans' newsletter.

The sum appropriated shall be expended by the office of veterans' services for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
