veterans' donations fund; annual transfer

SB 1704 establishes a Veterans' Donations Fund to collect public contributions for Arizona veterans. It requires the Department of Veterans' Services to annually transfer 15% of all donations to a subaccount supporting state veterans' homes for equipment, maintenance, and resident needs. The bill also creates specific subaccounts for: the enduring freedom memorial (Section C), shelter for homeless women veterans (Section D), and two scholarship foundations supporting military families (Sections E-F). These subaccounts fund defined purposes like memorial construction, women veterans' services, and need-based scholarships for children of active-duty and fallen military members. The fund is exempt from annual appropriation lapsing, ensuring continuous use of donated funds.
