SCS/SB 676 - This act expands the World War II medallion program to include veterans who served in World War II and were legal residents of Missouri either at the time of enlistment, death, or application. The time limit for applying for the medal has been removed as well as the language which causes appropriated money to revert at the end of the program.

This act allocates seven million dollars from the Gaming Commission Fund to the Veterans' Commission Capital Improvement Trust Fund. Current law allocates three million dollars from the Gaming Commission Fund to the Veterans' Commission Capital Improvement Trust Fund.

This act sunsets Section 313.835, RSMo, on August 28, 2006. Section 313.835 concerns the distribution of funds deposited into the Gaming Commission Fund.
