Bill > SB722

This bill amends Section 1341 of the Military and Veterans Code to ensure that funds deposited into the California Mexican American Veterans' Memorial Beautification and Enhancement Account are continuously appropriated, meaning they can be used without needing annual legislative approval, to the Department of Veterans Affairs for the upkeep and improvement of the existing memorial and its grounds at the State Capitol. The bill also specifies that any money left in this account on July 1, 2016, will be returned to the state's General Fund, and declares itself an urgency statute to take effect immediately, citing the need to prevent the lapse of funding essential for the memorial's maintenance.
