    AI Summary

    This bill makes sure public colleges charge in‑state tuition to people using the Montgomery GI Bill–Selected Reserve (MGIB‑SR). If a public school charges them more than the in‑state rate, the Department of Veterans Affairs must stop approving those courses for VA education benefits. This aims to keep costs fair for Selected Reserve members who are studying in the state where the school is located, even if their official home is another state .

    Key points:

    • Who is affected: Students using MGIB‑SR benefits from the Selected Reserve at public colleges and universities.
    • What changes: Public schools must offer the in‑state tuition rate to these students, or the VA will not approve those courses for benefits .
    • When it starts: Applies to academic terms that begin on or after August 1, 2026.
