Fiscal Note
Reduces loss of tuition revenue - Higher educational institutions
Fiscal Detail and Notes
The amendment removes master's degree programs from the types of programs that a child of a veteran attending state-supported postsecondary institutions may receive a tuition waiver for under the bill.  Eliminating this provision from the bill will reduce the amount of tuition that may be lost to the state-supported higher educational institutions.  As amended, the University of Maine System and the Maine Community College System will be able to accommodate the reduced level of revenue loss without requiring additional resources.
