HJR 1020 proposes a constitutional amendment creating the Oklahoma Veterans Lottery Trust Fund, funded by the Oklahoma Veterans Lottery game. The fund would provide grants exclusively for veteran-related purposes: supporting service organizations' youth programs and veteran assistance, emergency aid for veterans/families, indigent veteran funerals, and veteran outreach programs. It establishes a Board of Governors appointed by veteran service organizations and the Oklahoma Veterans Council to administer the fund, and prohibits the legislature from using these funds to replace existing state funding for veterans' programs. An annual review by the State Board of Equalization ensures funds enhance rather than supplant other veteran support, requiring replenishment if supplanting occurs.
