Plain-language change summary

The amended version of Bill SB 3630 added specific language to clarify that scholarships for veterans' dependents can be used regardless of the spouse's or child's age. It also emphasizes that if a surviving spouse remarries or if there's a divorce, scholarship benefits will end after the current term. These changes are significant because they ensure broader access to educational support for families of veterans while clearly outlining conditions that affect scholarship eligibility.
