LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2838, as introduced, Davies.
Veterans: memorials.
Existing law creates various memorials to veterans of the United States Armed Forces, including, among others, the memorial to California’s Vietnam veterans on the grounds of the State Capitol. Existing law requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to administer the Capitol Park Veterans Memorial Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, for the purpose of the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing memorials in the State Capitol, as specified.
This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs and the California Veterans Board to utilize Capitol Park Veterans Memorial Fund moneys to prioritize adding the flag of the United States Space Force to the Veterans Memorial in Capitol Park. By expanding the purposes for which continuously appropriated fund moneys may be used, the bill would make an appropriation.
