The bill S. 218 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 25-11-730, which mandates that the Department of Veterans' Affairs establish criteria for admissions to and discharges from South Carolina veterans' homes. This new section outlines that the Department will be responsible for creating and implementing policies and procedures related to these admissions and discharges.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Department of Veterans' Affairs will set and collect fees for residency and services at the veterans' homes. It also grants the Department the authority to accept state or federal benefits as full or partial payment for any fees charged by the homes. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
