    2009 2010 Legislature

    LRB 3490/4, the Wisconsin GI Bill Enhancement Act, is a legislative bill draft circulated for co-sponsorship in the Wisconsin State Legislature on Feburary 18, 2010, authored by Rep. Steve Hilgenberg (D-Dodgeville), chair of the Wisconsin State Assembly Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. LRB 3490/4 restores partial access to the Wisconsin GI Bill after a veteran’s federal benefits are exhausted, thereby ensuring that (1) Wisconsin maximizes federal funding and (2) veterans have access to the benefits they need as they transition back to civilian life. This bill requires University of Wisconsin system (UW) and Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) institutions to grant full remission of academic fees charged for 128 credits or 8 semesters, whichever is longer, less 50 percent of the number of credits or semesters for which the student received educational assistance under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, the federal Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Program, or the federal Veterans Vocational Rehabilitation Act. Accordingly, the bill permits a student to receive up to 64 credits or 4 semesters from the Wisconsin GI Bill after they have exhausted their benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. This legislation will help ensure that veterans have the support they need to complete a four-year undergraduate program. Also, it will help veterans that need to go back to school for job-training, career retooling, or a two-year technical program. Again, this bill is designed to effectively marry state and federal programs so as to maximize the capture of federal dollars while protecting veterans benefits for current and future users. In doing so, it restores the Wisconsin GI Bill to its original purpose: to supplement federal benefit programs to better ensure that Wisconsin veterans have the opportunity reshape their careers, support their families, and enrich Wisconsin’s economy.

    2009 − 2010 LEGISLATURE LRB−3490/4

    GMM:bjk:ph

    2009 BILL

    1 AN ACT to amend 36.27 (3n) (b) (intro.), 36.27 (3n) (bg), 36.27 (3p) (b), 38.24 (7)
    2 (b) (intro.), 38.24 (7) (bg) and 38.24 (8) (b); and to create 36.27 (3n) (bd), 36.27

    3 (3p) (bd), 38.24 (7) (bd) and 38.24 (8) (bd) of the statutes; relating to: remission

    4 of fees for veterans and their dependents enrolled in the University of

    5 Wisconsin System or in a technical college.

    Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau


    Current law requires the Board of Regents of the UW System (Board of
    Regents) and each technical college district board (district board) to grant remission
    of academic fees to certain veterans who are residents of this state for veterans
    benefits purposes and to the spouse, unremarried surviving spouse, and children
    (dependents) of a veteran who was a resident of this state at the time of entry into
    service and who either: 1) while a resident of this state, died on active duty, died as
    the result of a service−connected disability, or died in the line of duty while on active
    or inactive duty for training purposes; or 2) incurred at least a 30 percent
    service−connected disability rating. In the case of a veteran enrolled in the UW
    System, “academic fees” includes nonresident tuition.
    Current law requires the Board of Regents and each district board to grant full
    remission of academic fees charged for up to 128 credits or eight semesters,
    whichever is longer, less the amount of any academic fees paid under the federal
    Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Program, the federal Veterans Vocational
    Rehabilitation Act, or the federal Post−9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of
    2008, commonly referred to as the “New GI Bill.”

    BILL

    This bill requires the Board of Regents and each district board to grant full
    remission of academic fees charged for 128 credits or eight semesters, whichever is
    longer, less 50 percent of the number of credits or semesters for which the student
    received educational assistance under the federal ROTC Program, the federal
    Veterans Vocational Rehabilitation Act, or the federal New GI Bill. As such, if a
    student received 128 credits or eight semesters of educational assistance under those
    federal programs, the bill permits the student to receive full remission of academic
    fees charged for 64 credits or four semesters, whichever is longer.
