Bill > S06655

This bill establishes the "New York State Veterans Cemetery Act" and directs the Division of Veterans' Services to create a funding promotion program for New York State veterans cemeteries. The purpose of the program is to encourage financial contributions from individuals, groups, and corporations to the Veterans Remembrance and Cemetery Maintenance and Operation Fund, which provides funding for the construction, operation, and maintenance of veterans cemeteries in New York. The bill also requires the Division to seek grants and contributions from governments and other sources for the fund, and to submit an annual report on the program's activities and recommendations to the state legislature.
