Bill Summary
Provides criteria for veterans of U.S. Armed Services, including reserve components thereof, to qualify as residents for tuition purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, concerning resident status for tuition purposes in Florida, amends section 1009.21 of the Florida Statutes to add new criteria for veterans of the U.S. Armed Services, including their reserve components, to qualify for in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities. Specifically, these veterans will be considered residents for tuition purposes if they attend an institution physically located within Florida or if they physically reside in Florida while enrolled in an online course offered by a Florida institution of higher learning. This change aims to provide clearer guidelines for veterans seeking to benefit from resident tuition rates.
