Section 2 establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: This legislation ensures that the veterans remembrance and cemetery maintenance and operation fund contains moneys sufficient, adjusted to reflect inflation, in order to have proper, timely and necessary funding for state veterans' cemeteries, by amending the executive law, in the hopes of not further delaying an already encumbered process.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 10/22/18 A.11387 referred to veterans' affairs   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: TBD.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
