Recognizing veterans of World War II.

AN ACT Relating to recognition of World War II veterans; creating a new section; and making an appropriation.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature intends to remember the thousands of men and women from Washington state who served in World War II. This year, nineteen hundred and ninety-five, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II and yet there is no monument on the state capitol campus to specifically recognize the dedication of the men and women of this state who served or were wounded, killed, or missing in action during World War II. These brave people should be recognized for their dedication to freedom and bravery that brought a victorious end to the war. The legislature pledges strong support for a war memorial on the state capitol campus to honor all those who served in the armed forces during World War II.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) The sum of fifty thousand dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated for the biennium ending June 30, 1997, from the state general fund to the department of veterans affairs for the purpose of erecting a monument on the state capitol campus to honor and thank all who served during World War II.

(2) Prior to expending the appropriation the department of veterans affairs shall convene an advisory committee to make recommendations to the department on the type, size, and cost of the memorial and recommend a site on the capitol campus, subject to approval of the state capitol committee, for the memorial. The advisory committee shall consist of eleven members: Two from the house of representatives, one from each caucus; two from the senate, one from each caucus; one member appointed by the governor; and six public members representing veterans or veteran organizations. Members of the advisory committee shall not be compensated or reimbursed for any expenses incurred by attending advisory committee meetings.
