| Title: | Veterans Issues |
| Authors: | Kansas. Legislature. Legislative Research Department |
| Issue Date: | 2-Jun-1999 |
| Description: | State Veterans Cemeteries System. The 1999 Legislature approved S.B. 19 which authorizes the
Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs to establish and maintain a state system of veterans
cemeteries. Under the state veterans cemetery program, the federal Veterans Administration (VA)
provides grants to cover 100 percent of cemetery construction costs. The state pays the operating
expenditures. S.B. 19 limits the Commission to no more than three additional grant applications, for
a total of four state veterans cemeteries statewide. The Kansas Soldiers’ Home at Fort Dodge has been approved for a cemetery construction grant. The Commission intends to develop state veterans cemeteries at sites on Fort Riley, at the Kansas Veterans Home in Winfield, and somewhere in the northwest quadrant of the state—in this order. Each cemetery will be subject to site-specific grant application approval by the VA. |
