The bill amends sections 37-14-04 and 37-14-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertain to the veterans' aid fund. The primary purpose of the veterans' aid fund is to provide loans to veterans and their surviving spouses. The amendments allow qualified applicants to receive multiple loans, with the total amount not exceeding five thousand eight hundred dollars, an increase from the previous limit of five thousand dollars. Additionally, the bill outlines the criteria for loan eligibility, stating that the Department of Veterans' Affairs may provide loans to veterans or their surviving spouses who have not remarried, are citizens and residents of North Dakota, and meet specific qualifications. The maximum loan amount remains five thousand eight hundred dollars, and if an applicant receives multiple loans, these amounts will be consolidated into a single payment.
