The bill amends the law regarding the Arkansas Veterans' Child Welfare Service, specifically focusing on the appointment and reporting structure of its director. The previous requirement for the director to be appointed by the Governor based on a written recommendation from the governing body of the American Legion Department of Arkansas Foundation, Inc. has been removed. Additionally, the stipulation that the director serves at the pleasure of the Governor and reports to the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs has also been deleted.

The bill maintains the establishment of the Arkansas Veterans' Child Welfare Service, which provides welfare and rehabilitation services for minor children of honorably discharged Arkansas veterans who are deceased or medically incapacitated. It also allows the service to enter into contracts with various organizations and individuals for the administration of funds and services related to veterans' child welfare. The provisions regarding the management of funds granted to the service, excluding state-appropriated funds, remain intact, ensuring they are administered according to their intended purposes.
