HR 7323 United States House · 118th Congress

Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2024

HR 7323, the Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2024, ensures Selected Reserve service members (like National Guard and Reserve members) using Chapter 1606 benefits receive in-state tuition rates at public colleges. It amends existing law to require public institutions to charge these veterans the same in-state tuition rate as state residents, rather than higher out-of-state rates. This change applies to academic periods starting August 1, 2024, directly affecting Selected Reserve members pursuing education through the Chapter 1606 program. The bill expands a long-standing tuition fairness provision previously limited to other GI Bill programs (like Chapter 30) to cover Chapter 1606 recipients.
