Creates the "Public Safety Recruitment and Retention Act" to provide free college tuition for public safety personnel

HB 1525 creates the "Public Safety Recruitment and Retention Act," providing free tuition coverage for public safety personnel at Missouri's public colleges and universities. Eligible workers - including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians - with at least six years of service can receive up to 100% of resident tuition costs for approved degrees (like criminal justice for police or fire science for firefighters), after applying for other federal and state aid. The program also extends tuition benefits to legal dependents of personnel with ten or more years of service. The bill covers tuition only (not room, board, or books) and requires annual proof of employment and Missouri residency.
