The bill amends the Uniform Veterans' Guardianship Act by revising Section 13, which pertains to the maintenance and support of a ward's estate. 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 after a hearing. This change aims to clarify the limitations on how a guardian can manage the estate of a 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 modifies the requirement for notifying the proper office of the veterans administration, aligning it with the procedures outlined in Section 9 of the act. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the approval of specific joint resolutions by the 103rd Legislature, which must become part of the state constitution.
