Bill > HSB6

Introduced Session

Under current law, qualified veterans and qualified military persons, and their spouses and dependent children, are considered residents of Iowa for purposes of undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees at regents institutions and community colleges. This bill expands the definition of “qualified military person” to mean a “veteran” as defined in Code section 35.1, which generally includes veterans of armed conflicts and other service members who were discharged under honorable conditions. Under current law, the definition generally includes veterans eligible for benefits under the federal Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 who have been domiciled in Iowa for one year. The bill also provides that surviving spouses and children of qualified veterans are considered residents of Iowa for purposes of undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees at regents institutions and community colleges.
