SCR 603 is a resolution expressing support for creating a standardized system that allows military veterans to receive academic credit or college certification based on their military training and service. The resolution notes that military training often meets or exceeds civilian college standards and points to existing federal programs (like the Department of Defense's Voluntary Education Partnership) that already help veterans translate their military experience into recognized credentials. This resolution does not change state law itself, but instead urges the state to support efforts to recognize military training as equivalent to civilian education and training requirements.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
