Bill Summary
To require the continuation of tuition assistance programs for members of the Armed Forces for the remainder of fiscal year 2013.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Secretaries of the military departments must continue to fund tuition assistance programs for members of the Armed Forces through the end of fiscal year 2013, using specific amounts. These amounts are to be no less than what was appropriated for these programs in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013, with a deduction allowed only up to a certain percentage related to budget cuts required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, a law designed to control federal deficits. The primary goal is to ensure that service members can continue to receive educational benefits during this period.
