AI Summary

This bill aims to allow veterans to pay in-state tuition rates at public higher education institutions in Massachusetts immediately upon establishing residency in the Commonwealth. It amends the existing state law to specify that any individual admitted to a public institution of higher education who qualifies as a veteran, as defined in the General Laws, shall be eligible for in-state tuition and fees at the University of Massachusetts or any state or community college or university. The bill also stipulates that no person qualified for in-state tuition under this provision shall be denied such rates due to the granting of eligibility under this new paragraph, and that eligible individuals must provide proof of their veteran status to the institution.
