A bill for an act relating to in-state residency for purposes of undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees at regents institutions and community colleges for certain military personnel and family members.
Placed on calendar under unfinished business. S.J. 658.
Summary
The bill amends Iowa law so that active‑duty service members stationed in Iowa, eligible veterans, and their spouses, dependent children and surviving spouses are treated as Iowa residents for undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees at community colleges and state universities. Eligibility depends on tax‑return claims and residency or stationing requirements, and families keep resident status even if the service member is transferred, as long as the student remains continuously enrolled. The change is intended to reduce college costs for military families.
