What’s in it

AI summary This bill expands who counts as a qualified military person to include more veterans who served in armed conflicts or received honorable discharges. It also ensures that the surviving spouses and children of these veterans are treated as Iowa residents when paying for college. These changes help more military families qualify for lower in-state tuition rates at community colleges and state universities.1

Read the official explanation

Under current law, qualified veterans and qualified military persons, and their spouses and dependent children, are considered residents of Iowa for purposes of undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees at regents institutions and community colleges.1, which generally includes veterans of armed conflicts and other service members who were discharged under honorable conditions. Under current law, the definition generally includes veterans eligible for benefits under the federal Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 who have been domiciled in Iowa for one year. The bill also provides that surviving spouses and children of qualified veterans are considered residents of Iowa for purposes of undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees at regents institutions and community colleges.
