Hawai‘i National Cemetery Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a new national cemetery in Hawai‘i, following federal veterans cemetery law and the National Environmental Policy Act. When choosing a site, the Secretary would give priority to locations near population centers, reachable by existing transportation, and with low environmental impact, and would consult the Governor of Hawai‘i and local veterans service organizations. Within one year, the Secretary would report to the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees on possible sites. Starting two years after enactment, the Secretary would send yearly progress reports until the cemetery is operating.
