Legislation

Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.

Choosing a jurisdiction overrides the level. Stage is where the bill stands in its own jurisdiction's process. Direction is whether it expands or restricts benefits, recorded only where the reason can be read from the bill. Outcome is whether the instrument became law; catalog status is whether this catalog has been reconciled against it. None of this is legal advice, and a tracked item is a pointer to the official record rather than a substitute for reading it.

1 instrument in Oregon. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.

A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.

Expands benefits Raises the dependent tuition waiver age from 23 to 31 and eases the master's waiver.

Also allows a master's waiver whether or not the student ever received a bachelor's waiver, removes the requirement to apply within 12 months of finishing the bachelor's, and allows a master's waiver on proof of eligibility for federal Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance. Some Oregon public university pages still state the 23-year limit. A child between 24 and 31 who was told they are too old should ask the institution to check chapter 100.
