D Senate District 19
Memo
In the near future I will be introducing SB 232, legislation aimed at assisting veterans and other military personnel obtain credits toward a higher education degree.
Under my proposal, the Transfer and Articulation Oversight Committee, established under the Public School Code, would be charged with working with higher education faculty and personnel and the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to study and complete a report assessing the feasibility of developing uniform standards and methods to grant academic credit for experience, education, and training obtained during military service in order to expedite undergraduate degree requirements.
The report would include recommendations relating to the process to enable the transfer of credits between institutions to ensure that credits will be applied toward graduation requirements and any other recommendations to the Public School Code as the committee deems necessary. The report would be submitted to the Department of Education and the Education and Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate within 180 days of the effective date of the act.
This bill is part of the Senate Democratic Caucus’s PA WORKS legislative initiative
