The bill amends the Uniform Veterans' Guardianship Act by revising Section 13, which pertains to the maintenance and support of a ward under guardianship. The new language specifies that a guardian is prohibited from using any part of the ward's estate for the support and maintenance of any individual other than the ward, the ward's minor children, and the ward's spouse, unless a petition is filed and an order is granted by the court. This change aims to clarify the limitations on how a guardian can manage the financial resources of their ward.

Additionally, the bill updates the terminology used in the law, replacing terms such as "his" and "person" with more inclusive language like "the guardian's" and "individual." It also emphasizes the requirement for the guardian to notify the proper office of the veterans administration as mandated by section 9 of the act when seeking court approval for any financial decisions regarding the ward's estate. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the approval of specific resolutions by the state legislature.
