A bill signed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on Saturday makes the children of slain Toledo police officer Anthony Dia eligible for four years of tuition and fee waivers at state colleges and universities.
Senate Bill 259 ensures spouses and children of law officers, firefighters, or service members who were killed in the line of duty are eligible for the waivers if they were residents of Ohio at the time their spouse or parent was killed.
Previously, the Ohio Safety Officers College Memorial Fund only provided tuition and fee waivers to the family members if they remained Ohio residents.
