Oklahoma / State / 59th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session, 2024
SB 1223 Cited by a national guide as expanding a tuition waiver for children of 100 percent disabled veterans; it was an insurance bill and died
No change to benefits A state employee benefit allowance bill; it never touched veterans' children's tuition.
A 2026 national guide says children of 100 percent permanently and totally disabled veterans pay no tuition at Oklahoma public colleges and technology centers and that "state law (SB 1223)" expanded the benefit in 2024. SB 1223 of 2024 concerned the opt-out amount for state employees declining the flexible benefit allowance and was last referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee in February 2024. Oklahoma has no tuition waiver for the children of a living disabled veteran; the waivers for survivors of a line of duty death are Heroes Promise and, from November 1, 2026, HB 2961.
