This bill aims to protect service members and veterans from misrepresentation regarding federal tuition benefits by educational institutions and third-party entities. It establishes that it is unlawful for these entities to engage in deceptive practices related to enrollment costs, the applicability of federal tuition benefits under programs such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Montgomery GI Bill, and the nature of financial assistance available to students. The bill reinforces consumer protection laws under the State consumer fraud act (P.L.1960, c.39) to ensure that service members and veterans receive accurate information about their educational options.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, in collaboration with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, to launch a public awareness campaign. This campaign will educate service members and veterans about their eligibility for GI Bill benefits, how to verify the use of these benefits at educational institutions, and how to access further financial aid. The initiative aims to ensure that service members and veterans fully understand their rights and responsibilities regarding educational funding.
