This bill proposes a significant change in the oversight of the Veterans' Affairs Division Administrator by transferring supervision from the Board of Veterans' Affairs to the Adjutant General. The amendment to Section 10-2-102 of the Montana Code Annotated reflects this shift, indicating that the Adjutant General will now be responsible for hiring an administrator who will implement the policies and duties previously managed by the board.

In addition to the change in supervision, the bill maintains the existing responsibilities of the board, which include establishing statewide services for veterans and their families, advocating for their fair treatment, and developing communication programs to inform them about available services and benefits. The bill emphasizes the importance of interagency cooperation and the need for the board to seek grants and prepare biennial reports on veteran demographics and financial impacts of the services provided.
