SB67 is a bill that proposes amendments to the Alabama National Guard Educational Assistance Program. The bill removes the requirement for members to maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average and establishes new eligibility requirements, including being 17 years of age or older, being a member of the Alabama National Guard in good standing, and completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The bill also sets limits on the number of academic hours that can be claimed for reimbursement and establishes repayment requirements for members who become ineligible for benefits. Additionally, the bill repeals Article 2 of Chapter 10, Title 31 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which relates to supplemental educational assistance benefits for qualified active members of the National Guard. The bill is awaiting the approval of the Governor to become law.
