Bill Summary
AN ACT TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATORY ADMISSIONS POLICIES REGARDING ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS AND VETERANS; TO REQUIRE MILITARY ADMISSIONS DEFERMENT FOR CERTAIN PERSONS ADMITTED TO CONSTITUENT INSTITUTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA; AND TO PROVIDE IN-STATE TUITION TO CERTAIN HONORABLY DISCHARGED VETERANS.
AI Summary
This bill introduces new provisions to support military service members and veterans in higher education within North Carolina. The first part prohibits constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina from denying admission to applicants solely based on their current or intended uniformed service. It also requires the Board of Governors to establish a deferment policy for service members and their spouses, allowing deferments of at least two years for reserve Armed Forces members and five years for other uniformed service members. The second part creates a pathway for qualifying veterans to receive in-state tuition rates at institutions of higher education. A qualifying veteran must have served at least 90 days of active duty, received an Honorable Discharge, and meet additional criteria such as graduating from a North Carolina high school, serving at a permanent station in North Carolina for 90 continuous days, or being awarded a Purple Heart. These veterans can receive in-state tuition without meeting the standard 12-month residency requirement. The bill will take effect when it becomes law and will apply starting with the 2025-2026 academic year, aiming to provide educational support and opportunities for military service members and veterans in North Carolina.
