SF 2073 – Gold Star Museum, NGEAP technical
COMMITTEE ACTION:
SF 2073 (SSB 3041) is a proposal requested by the Department of Public Defense. It codifies the Gold Star Museum at Camp Dodge as part of the Department and under the administration of the Adjutant General. The bill modifies language regarding the National Guard Education Assistance Program (NGEAP). It eliminates current references to specific military operations designated by the federal government, such as Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn, to allow any unspent funds at the close of one fiscal year to carry over to the following fiscal year, rather than revert to the general fund. This section takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to June 30, 2015. The bill also allows the College Student Aid Commission to use up to 1 percent of the funding for administrative costs.
