Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2025

This section would give the Act a short title: the Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2025.

This section would amend section 3679 of title 38, United States Code, which requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to disapprove courses of education at public institutions of higher learning that do not charge certain veterans and other covered individuals the in-state tuition rate, so that the disapproval requirement also covers people using Selected Reserve educational assistance under chapter 1606 of title 10, United States Code (assistance provided under section 16131 of title 10). It would do this in several places within subsection (c) of section 3679: in paragraph (1), it would add chapter 1606 of title 10 to the existing list of covered title 38 chapters (chapters 30, 31, 33, and 35); in paragraph (2), it would add a new subparagraph (E) naming a new category of covered individual, an individual who is entitled to assistance under section 16131 of title 10; and in paragraph (6), it would insert a reference to chapter 1606 of title 10 before the period at the end of that paragraph, extending whatever that paragraph already covers to also include people using this chapter's assistance. This section would make the same kind of conforming change to subsection (e) of section 3679: it would add a reference to chapter 1606 of title 10 alongside the existing references to chapters 31, 33, and 35 of title 38 in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1) and in paragraph (2), so that whatever those provisions currently require or allow for people using chapters 31, 33, and 35 would also apply to people using the Selected Reserve educational assistance program. These amendments would take effect on the date this Act is enacted and would apply only to academic periods beginning on or after August 1, 2026.
