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 establishes the Arkansas Veterans' Child Welfare Service, which is tasked with providing temporary welfare and rehabilitation services for minor children of honorably discharged Arkansas veterans who are deceased or medically incapacitated. It also grants the service the authority to enter into contracts with various organizations and entities to enhance its operations and services. Furthermore, it allows for the management of funds granted to the service, ensuring they are used for their intended purposes.
