Summary
The bill amends Kentucky law to let spouses, children, stepchildren, or orphans of certain disabled veterans, as well as families of law‑enforcement officers and firefighters killed or disabled on duty, attend state‑supported colleges and vocational schools without paying tuition for a limited time. Eligibility requires proof of the service member’s disability rating, honorable discharge, Kentucky residency, and a documented parent‑child or spousal relationship, and students must still file the FAFSA. Waivers cover tuition and mandatory fees after any state or federal grants are applied.
