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 do not go to waste.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that facilitates the transfer of unused tuition waivers from veterans to their children. This initiative reflects a commitment to supporting veterans' families and enhancing access to higher education for their dependents.
