Bill > HB1482

This bill modifies the Veterans Commission Capital Improvement Trust Fund to add a new provision specifically allocating up to $500,000 in fund transfers to Perry County for the restoration, renovation, and maintenance of a memorial or museum dedicated to Missouri and United States veterans. The bill expands the existing uses of the trust fund, which is primarily funded through money collected under section 313.835, to now include support for a veterans' memorial or museum in a specific county with a population between 17,600 and 19,000, and a county seat with between 8,000 and 10,000 inhabitants. This addition joins other existing uses of the fund, such as supporting veterans' homes, cemeteries, service officer programs, and other veterans-related memorials and museums. The bill ensures that any interest earned on the fund remains in the fund and cannot be transferred to the general revenue fund, maintaining its dedicated purpose of supporting veterans-related initiatives.
