(1) Beginning July 1, 2028, subject to available appropriations, the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education shall reimburse each state university for fifty percent of the tuition waivers for correctional officers, youth detention officers, eligible disabled persons that were formerly correctional officers and youth detention officers, and the qualifying children of such officers and persons granted in the preceding year by such state university.

(2) A state university shall request reimbursement by submitting documentation in a form and manner prescribed by the commission.
