AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the ability of veterans to receive in-state tuition using educational assistance administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Specifically, it amends the existing law to remove the requirement that a veteran must have lived in a state for less than three years before enrolling in a course to be eligible for in-state tuition. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary to make publicly available a database explaining any requirements established by public institutions of higher learning for veterans to be charged in-state tuition rates. It also allows the Secretary to disapprove courses of education at public institutions that do not provide the required information on in-state tuition requirements. These changes are intended to improve veterans' access to affordable higher education.
