Expanding tuition waivers for high school completers at community and technical colleges.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill removes the age requirement for resident students to receive tuition waivers at community and technical colleges if they are completing their high school education. It also requires these colleges to waive all tuition and fees for children and surviving spouses of law enforcement officers, firefighters, or Washington state patrol officers who died or became totally disabled in the line of duty. The colleges must report the cost of these waivers to the state board, which will then report to the legislature.
