This bill amends Section 222 of Title 72 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs. It renames the existing "Revolving Fund" to the "Nonappropriated Veteran Care Enterprise Fund" and reclassifies it as an "agency special account." The bill specifies that this fund will consist of all revenues received by the Department from various sources, including fees for service, but explicitly prohibits state appropriations and certain federal funds from being deposited into it. Additionally, it allows for the establishment of special agency accounts for managing personal funds of residents and charitable contributions.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the purposes for which the agency special account can be used, including the care of veterans, operational expenses, and improvements to facilities. It also introduces new requirements for the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs, such as maintaining accounting records, submitting quarterly reports to key state officials, and being subject to audits. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
