Veterans' Affairs Committee
AN ACT ESTABLISHING A VETERANS AND MILIT ARY TOURISM
TRAIL
SUMMARY: This act allows the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), in
consultation with the Department of Economic and Community Development, to
establish a Veterans and Military Tourism Trail that links museums, memorials,
battleground sites, and other historic sites related to veterans and the U.S. Armed
Forces. It also allows DVA to publicize the trail. If DVA does so, the act requires
it to publish an informational brochure on the trail sites’ locations and histories,
provided the DVA commissioner solicits sufficient private donations to cover the
costs of the publicity and brochure.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2021
