House, Senate leaders reach agreement to pass VMSDEP-related bill

Leaders in the Democratic-controlled House of Delegates and State Senate have reached an agreement to introduce identical bills concerning the Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program (VMSDEP).
In May, lawmakers made the program, which waives college tuition for the kids and spouses of qualified disabled military veterans, harder for families to access. However, soon after making the changes, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, the House and a majority of the Senate agreed that the changes should be repealed.
The House passed a repeal plan last week but the Democratic-controlled Senate failed to pass a repeal twice in the last month, including yesterday.
