HCS SCS SB 1365 -- VETERANS' EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS

Subject to appropriations, this bill requires the General
Assembly to encourage the development of veterans' outreach and
education programs which promote the historical significance of
veterans' military service.  The programs must be approved by the
Executive Director of the Missouri Veterans Commission and will
be conducted in public schools, veteran cemeteries, veteran
homes, and other institutions.  This provision will expire six
years from the effective date.

The bill also creates the Veterans' Historical Education Trust
Fund which will be administered by the Missouri Veterans
Commission and used for the purpose of contributing to the
preservation of freedom and financing veterans' outreach and
educational programs.

The Director of the Department of Revenue is required to deposit
all amounts received or designated to the fund which include
grants, gifts, appropriations, and federal moneys.  Funds
appropriated by the General Assembly can only be used for
conducting veterans' outreach and educational activities.
Unexpended balances remaining in the fund will not revert to the
General Revenue Fund.
