Keep working to enact legislation requiring public higher education institutions to charge in-state tuition rates for veterans using Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserves benefits.

The Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserves (MGIB-SR) Tuition Fairness Act directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to require public higher education institutions to charge in-state tuition rates for veterans using MGIB-SR... "This is a great first step, and we’ll keep working to get them signed into law."

McGarvey committed to continue working to get his veterans education bill signed into law, including a requirement that public colleges charge in-state tuition to veterans using MGIB-SR benefits.
