The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6717, aims to amend title 10a of the general statutes to waive the payment of all tuition and fees for veterans enrolled in public institutions of higher education. This waiver would apply to all academic terms, including summer sessions and educational extension program courses.

The bill seeks to support veteran students by eliminating financial barriers to higher education, thereby encouraging their enrollment and participation in academic programs. The legal language inserted into the current law specifies that the waiver applies to "any veteran enrolled at a public institution of higher education for any academic term," while no deletions from existing law are noted in the text provided.
