What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a child of an eligible veteran that is between the ages of 17

and 26 may receive 128 credits or 8 semesters of tuition remission at University of

Wisconsin System institutions or state technical colleges. This bill reduces the

minimum age at which such an individual may receive the tuition remission from 17

to 15 years of age.
