AI Summary
This bill, the Colonel John McHugh Tuition Fairness for Survivors Act, amends Title 38 of the United States Code to require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to disapprove courses offered by public institutions of higher education that do not charge veterans the in-state tuition rate for the Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) Program.
