AI Summary
This bill, the Military Spouse Career Education Act, aims to enhance financial assistance to military spouses for professional expenses. It does this by two key provisions:
1) Expanding reimbursable state license and certification costs for military spouses arising from relocation, including fees, continuing education courses, and the costs to secure or maintain such licenses and certifications.
2) Expanding the financial assistance available under the My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) program to cover not only the pursuit, but also the maintenance (including continuing education courses) of professional licenses, certifications, and associate's degrees. It also allows MyCAA financial assistance to be applied to the costs of national tests that may earn a participating military spouse course credits required for a degree approved under the program.
