The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6488, seeks to amend sections 10a-77, 10a-99, and 10a-105 of the general statutes to expand the eligibility of unused veteran tuition waivers. Specifically, the bill allows any child of a veteran to utilize tuition waivers that the veteran was eligible for but did not use. This change aims to provide additional educational opportunities for the children of veterans by ensuring that these benefits are not lost when a veteran does not take advantage of them.

The bill introduces new legal language that facilitates this transfer of benefits, while no specific deletions from current law are noted in the summary provided. The intent of the legislation is to honor the service of veterans by extending their educational benefits to their children, thereby enhancing access to higher education for families of veterans.
