Hawai‘i National Cemetery Act

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