Bill > SB798

This bill modifies Oregon state law to expand in-state tuition eligibility for members of the Oregon National Guard. Specifically, the bill amends ORS 352.313 to include members of the Oregon National Guard who reside in another state as qualifying for in-state tuition rates at public universities listed in ORS 352.002. The change means that Oregon National Guard members will be considered state residents for the purpose of determining college admission and tuition fees, even if they do not physically reside in Oregon. This provision is part of a broader set of rules that already provide in-state tuition benefits to active members of the Armed Forces of the United States, their spouses, and dependent children. The bill appears to be designed to support and provide educational benefits to Oregon National Guard members, regardless of their current state of residence, potentially making higher education more accessible and affordable for these service members.
