SB 60: Public postsecondary education: waiver of tuition and fees: California Military Department GI Bill Award Program: extended education courses.
The bill aims to provide financial assistance to certain students by waiving tuition and fees for specified students in public postsecondary education institutions. It prohibits these institutions from charging tuition or fees to students who are children of veterans with service-connected disabilities, recipients of the Medal of Honor, or undergraduate students who are children of Medal of Honor recipients and meet specific age requirements. The bill also allows students to use their California Military Department GI Bill award to pay for extended education courses at public postsecondary education institutions, including those used to meet degree requirements. This expanded use of the award is contingent upon the student's agreement to complete a degree program and meeting specific requirements.
