    NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2.  A new section is added to chapter 73.40 RCW to read as follows:

    The national World War II memorial account is created in the custody of the state treasurer.  All receipts from appropriations and other sources must be deposited into the account.  Expenditures from the account may be used only for the national World War II memorial in Washington, D.C.  Only the director of the department of veterans' affairs or the director's designee may authorize expenditures from the account.  The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not required for expenditures.
