Bill > HR5425

This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a comprehensive study examining the potential implementation of a uniform tuition assistance policy for members of the Armed Forces who have completed one year of active duty service. The study will explore the feasibility and potential advantages of creating a standard approach to supporting military personnel's educational pursuits, with a specific focus on providing tuition assistance after a servicemember's first year of active service. The Secretary is required to submit a detailed report to congressional defense committees within one year of the bill's enactment, which must include the study's findings and identify any potential obstacles to implementing such a policy. The bill aims to potentially improve educational opportunities and retention within the military by exploring a more consistent approach to supporting servicemembers' educational goals, which could help attract and retain skilled personnel by offering clearer educational benefits.
