A BILL to amend and reenact article three, chapter ten of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated section three, relating to requiring completion of the veteran's memorial on the grounds of the state capitol complex in Charleston.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That article three, chapter ten of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, be amended and reenacted by adding thereto a new section, designated section three, to read as follows:
ARTICLE 3. MONUMENTS, TABLETS AND MEMORIALS.

§10-3-3. Completion of veteran's memorial; findings and declarations; memorial to be completed by July 1, 1995.

(a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings and declarations:
(1) Many courageous soldiers and military personnel have represented this state in all domestic conflicts and foreign wars since the creation and inception of this state;
(2) The sacrifices made by the men and women from West Virginia that served this country in times of war and peace have provided both peace and security to this state and to the nation;
(3) It is only fitting and proper that the veterans memorial that was first provided for under the legislative enactment embodied in article one-i, chapter twenty-nine, be completed in order to honor all men and women who served this country in the various branches of military service; and,
(4) Because the purposes for which said article one-i was created have not yet been completed and realized and because the construction of the veteran's memorial intended thereunder has reached an apparent standstill, it is necessary to provide for the completion of the memorial for veterans without further adieu.
(b) The commissioner of culture is hereby directed to ensure the successful completion of the veteran's memorial, as described herein, subject to sufficient appropriation by the Legislature, no later than the first day of July, one thousand nine-hundred ninety-five.


NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to ensure completion of the veteran's memorial at Charleston that was originally intended to be fully funded by the voluntary tax check-off provisions of article 1I, chapter twenty-nine. The bill directs that the memorial be completed no later than July 1, 1995. It further directs that the commissioner of culture ensure such completion by such date.

This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring have been omitted.
