What This Bill Does
This bill removes a provision related to higher education tuition waivers for a Purple Heart recipient.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- removes a provision related to a Purple Heart recipient applying for a graduate program waiver;
- increases the limit for a tuition waiver; and
- makes technical and conforming changes.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah law already provides tuition waivers at state colleges and universities for Purple Heart recipients, and this bill makes two changes to those graduate-level benefits: it removes the rule that required Purple Heart recipients to apply for a graduate program within 10 years of completing an undergraduate degree, and it raises the total graduate tuition waiver cap from $10,000 to $15,000.
