Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
| This bill to add West Virginia National Guard members who are
discharged from the military service due to wounds or injuries received in the line of duty, may continue to receive payments for tuition and fees as if they were still a member of the West Virginia National Guard. This will not add any additional cost since payments are contingent upon appropriations being made by the Legislature for the education program. An estimate of 20 soldiers may qualify for the program baed on line of duty for wounds and injuries. Prior to current Federal mobilizations, there would only be two or three soldiers that would qualify under this bill. |

3. Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Based on the assumption that the highest rate of tuition at a state
college is WV University at $1,969 a semester. The cost per year would be $3,938.00 times 20 soldiers = $39,380. This amount of tuition would be part of the funds already set aside for the college tuition program. |
