The Oklahoma Veterans Higher Education Access Act establishes a framework for providing tuition and fee waivers to eligible veterans attending certain higher education institutions and technology center schools in Oklahoma. The bill defines "eligible institution" as those within The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education and "eligible veteran" as a resident who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces, received an honorable or general discharge under honorable conditions, and has a service-connected disability rated at sixty percent or more. The waivers are tiered based on the disability rating, offering up to 100% coverage for undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees or tuition at technology center schools, with specific percentages outlined for different disability ratings.

Additionally, the bill mandates that eligible veterans must exhaust any federal education benefits before utilizing the state waivers. The Legislature is required to provide annual funding to cover the cost of these waivers, subject to availability. The State Regents for Higher Education and the State Board of Career and Technology Education are tasked with creating rules for the implementation of the program, including application requirements and verification of disability ratings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
