Beginning with the 2019-2020 academic | 9 | | year, per the federal requirements for maintaining approval for | 10 | | veterans' education benefits under 38 U.S.C. 3679(c), if a | 11 | | person is on active military duty or is receiving veterans' | 12 | | education benefits, then the Board of Trustees shall deem that | 13 | | person an Illinois resident for tuition purposes for any | 14 | | academic quarter, semester, or term, as applicable.
