Bill > HB407

This bill amends two Kentucky statutes (KRS 164.507 and KRS 164.515) to expand educational benefits for certain military-connected individuals. The key provisions are: 1. Removing the degree-seeking requirement for the nonremarried spouse and children of a deceased veteran to use the tuition waiver, and requiring them to use federal grant funds towards tuition before using the waiver. 2. Expanding the educational benefit to include service members with a disability rating of 50% or higher, removing the 100% disability requirement, and applying the same tuition waiver and federal grant use requirements. 3. Removing the degree-seeking requirement for the spouse, children, stepchildren, and orphans of certain disabled or missing military members to use the tuition waiver, and requiring them to use federal grant funds towards tuition before using the waiver. The bill aims to make these military-connected educational benefits more accessible by removing certain restrictions and ensuring federal grant funds are utilized first before the tuition waiver is applied.
