This bill expands South Dakota's tuition waiver program to include children whose parent died while serving in the U.S. armed forces, not just those whose parents died while serving in the South Dakota National Guard. The benefit already existed for National Guard families; this change extends the same free tuition at state universities to dependents of any U.S. military member who died on active duty.
