S.B. No. 651 amends Section 434.032(a) of the Government Code to modify the reporting requirements for veterans county service offices in counties with a population of 200,000 or more. The bill stipulates that these offices must report directly to the commissioners court or a designated county executive official, thereby providing flexibility in oversight.

The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House with overwhelming support. This change aims to enhance the management and accountability of veterans services at the county level.
