Introduced

SB 75 - This act provides that all institutions of higher education that receive any state funds shall limit the tuition charged to combat veterans, as defined by this act, to fifty dollars per credit hour. A "combat veteran" shall include any person who served in armed combat after September 11, 2001, who was a Missouri resident when first entering the military, and who was discharged from military service under honorable conditions. The Coordinating Board for Higher Education shall ensure that the institutions comply with the provisions of this act, and the board may promulgate any rules for the efficient implementation of the act.

This act is identical to SB 1029 (2006).
