Virginia’s House of Delegates has voted unanimously to restore free college tuition for families of veterans who were killed or seriously disabled while on active duty. The 92-0 vote Friday would repeal restrictions to the Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program that had been placed in the state’s annual budget earlier this year. Military families complained about the restrictions after the budget passed. Gov. Glenn Youngkin and legislative leaders have since been trying to appease those dismayed by the changes.
