SB 1040: Veterans Cemetery Maintenance-Endowment Match Act.

This bill would establish a state and local matching funds program for veterans cemetery maintenance funds. The program would require a one-dollar contribution from individuals, veterans' service organizations, local governments, or private donors, and the state would contribute an additional one-dollar match, up to $250,000 per veterans cemetery per fiscal year. The program would be administered by the department of veterans affairs, which would review annual applications from veterans cemeteries to participate in the program. The program would be funded by moneys allocated from the general fund, which would be administered by the department. The department would provide a report to the legislature summarizing participating veterans cemeteries, total state matches, and fund performance.
