Current Bill Summary

- Prepared by Senate Research -


SCS/HCS/HB 1368 - This act modifies the Missouri Returning Heroes Education Act.

The act modifies the definition of "combat veteran". Additionally, the act requires any institution of higher education that receives state funds to limit the amount of tuition it charges to combat veterans enrolled in a program leading to a graduate degree to no more than 30% of the cost of tuition and fees. A combat veteran is eligible for the tuition limitation for a 20-year period beginning on the date of the veteran's last discharge from service. The tuition limitation shall be provided after all other federal and state aid for which the veteran is eligible has been applied.

These provisions are similar to HB 946 (2017).
