Bill Summary
AN ACT To Amend title 38, United States Code, to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to disapprove courses of education offered by a public institution of higher learning that does not charge the in-State tuition rate to a veteran using certain educational assistance under title 10 of such Code, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing veterans' education benefits legislation to require public higher education institutions to charge in-state tuition rates to veterans using educational assistance under the Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves program (Chapter 1606 of Title 10). Specifically, the bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to disapprove courses offered by public institutions that do not provide in-state tuition rates to eligible veterans using educational benefits from specific VA and Department of Defense programs, including the Selected Reserves educational assistance program. The changes will apply to academic periods beginning on or after August 1, 2026, ensuring that veterans using their Selected Reserves educational benefits will be charged the same tuition rates as in-state students at public colleges and universities. This legislation aims to reduce financial barriers for reservists seeking higher education by mandating fair tuition pricing across public institutions nationwide.
