AI Summary
This bill aims to allow veterans who are admitted to public institutions of higher education in Massachusetts to pay in-state tuition rates and fees, immediately upon establishing residency in the Commonwealth. It amends the state's General Laws to specify that any individual admitted to such public institutions who qualifies as a veteran, as defined in the law, shall be eligible for in-state tuition rates and fees at the University of Massachusetts, or any state or community college or university. The bill also stipulates that no person qualified for in-state tuition rates and fees under this provision shall be denied such rates as a result of the granting of eligibility under this new paragraph, and that the eligible individual must provide proof of veteran status to the institution.
