Summary

The bill lets Ohio counties give up to $501,000 to veterans and civic organizations for Memorial Day events, provided the groups apply 120 days before the holiday and file expense reports afterward. Townships can also appropriate funds for local posts, and if a post no longer exists the money may go to other patriotic groups, with a $1,200 cap for civic groups. Organizations that fail to file the required statements lose eligibility for future funding.
