On January 23, 2012, Rep. Jeff Miller (FL-1) introduced H.R. 357, a bill to “require courses of education provided by public institutions of higher education that are approved for purposes of the educational assistance programs administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to charge veterans tuition and fees at the in-State tuition rate.” The language of the bill is not yet available, but we will post it when it is made public. Rep. Michael Michaud (ME-2) has co-sponsored the bill. It was referred to the House Committee on Veteran’s Affairs, of which Rep. Miller is the Chairman and Rep. Michaud is the Ranking Member.
