[Oasfaa] Tuition Waivers for Dependents of Oklahoma Peace Officers, Firefighters, EMT's and Members of the Ok Law Enforcement Retirement System

[Chambless, Mike]

Here are the two statutes that address the above Subject.  I hope this will help with the room and board waiver question statement at today's workshop.
The waiver of resident tuition and nonresident tuition applies to all of the above.  The room and board waiver applies to only the children of commissioned members of the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System who have given their lives in the line of duty.
