Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a child of an eligible veteran that is between the ages of 17
and 26 may receive 128 credits or 8 semesters of tuition remission at University of
Wisconsin System institutions or state technical colleges. This bill reduces the
minimum age at which such an individual may receive the tuition remission from 17
to 15 years of age.

printed as an appendix to this bill.
