H.D. 1


 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

making an Appropriation for the department of defense.

 

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 lacking. This prevents veterans from all branches of the military from being informed of important outreach services that are available for veterans and their families, upcoming veteran-related events in the community, and the dates of various military ceremonies.

Presently, the office of veterans' services, located within the department of defense, lacks sufficient funding to publish a newsletter that would disseminate this important information to military veterans and their families.

The purpose of this Act is to appropriate moneys to enable the office of veterans' services to publish the 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 2004-2005 to publish the Hawaii veterans' newsletter.

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

SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2010.
