AI Summary

This bill proposes several key provisions related to veterans' higher education benefits and tuition: 1. It requires the Board of Higher Education to include vocational training institutions in its scope of administration, defining vocational training based on criteria such as occupations requiring a license, apprenticeship, or assessment. 2. It tasks the Board of Higher Education with creating a centralized, statewide system to connect federal education funding benefits with higher education institutions, including the development of a "one-stop" online portal for individuals to access educational and occupational training resources. 3. It establishes a policy that the Board of Higher Education shall consider certain veteran statuses, such as honorable or general discharge, as in-state residents for the purpose of paying tuition, regardless of their actual domicile. This also applies to dependents who have been transferred GI Bill benefits from a parent who was in the armed forces.
