Statute overview

About this statute

This chapter may be cited as the Veterans’ Revenue Debenture Act of 1970. This section defines key terms used in Chapter 7. This section creates the Veterans’ Debenture Finance Committee, names its members, says they serve without compensation, and allows a majority to act for the committee. The department may issue debentures, but only within a $500 million aggregate limit and with approval from the Veterans’ Debenture Finance Committee. If the department decides debentures should be issued, it must adopt and submit a resolution of issuance for committee review, and after approval the State Treasurer must prepare the authorized debentures.

(2) This section does not apply to offenses committed by members of the active militia who were not in a duty status or not ordered to a duty status at the time of the offense or omission, unless it is alleged that the member engaged in an affirmative act or omission that established a connection between the offense and service in the active militia.

Unless otherwise specified, the statute of limitations for the offenses in this section is as provided for in Section 843(b)(1) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. (c) For purposes of this section, “sexual harassment” means conduct that involves an unwelcome sexual advance, a request for sexual favors, or deliberate or repeated offensive comments or gestures of a sexual nature, towards, from, or in the presence of any person or persons, if any of the following apply: (1) Submission to the conduct was made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of a person’s job, pay, or career. (2) Submission to or rejection of the conduct by a person was used, or threatened to be used, as a basis for career or employment decisions affecting that person. (3) The conduct had the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with any person’s work performance or created an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment for any person, and was so severe or pervasive that a reasonable person or a reasonable victim would have perceived that the work environment was hostile or offensive.

The documentation shall be in accordance with procedures established by the department.

Beginning on January 1, 2006, the department shall, on or before January 1 of each year, prepare and transmit its determination for the preceding fiscal year to the Department of Finance and the Legislature. The department shall also identify federal sources to support the efforts of veterans service organizations pursuant to this section.
