Wyoming national guard tuition benefits.

HB 59 extends tuition assistance benefits for Wyoming National Guard members, allowing them to cover higher education costs in exchange for longer service commitments. It requires members to commit to six years of active service plus two additional years after completing their education, and permits transferring unused benefits to spouses or dependents if the member agrees to serve four more years. Payments cover tuition and mandatory fees (up to 100% of costs, combining with federal aid if used), paid directly to educational institutions after enrollment verification. The bill affects current and future Guard members, their spouses, and dependents who meet residency and service requirements.
