SB 313

Under current law, eligible veterans, a spouse of an eligible veteran, an

unremarried surviving spouse of an eligible veteran, and a child of an eligible

veteran, if the child is at least 17 but not yet 26 years of age, may receive fee remission

to cover the cost of tuition and fees for their enrollment in the University of Wisconsin

System or Technical College System. These programs are collectively known as the

“Wisconsin GI Bill.” Under current law, an eligible individual receiving Wisconsin

GI Bill benefits from the University of Wisconsin System may receive full remission

of tuition and segregated fees. An eligible individual receiving Wisconsin GI Bill

benefits from the Technical College System may receive full remission of fees

established by the Technical College System board, but this remission does not

include remission of certain student activity and incidental fees set by the student's

technical college district.

This bill requires that a technical college district also remit to eligible

individuals under the Wisconsin GI Bill the student activity and incidental fees set

by the student's individual technical college district.
