AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The aim of this bill is to adjust the pay and allowances for military service members in Minnesota when they are called into state active service. It seeks to make these compensations more comparable to federal military service pay.

Main Provisions

  • Officer Compensation: Commissioned officers on state active duty will receive pay equal to or greater than what officers of the same rank and length of service receive in the U.S. armed forces, with a minimum daily rate of $130.
  • Enlisted Personnel Compensation: Enlisted members also called into state active service will be paid similarly, with a guaranteed minimum daily pay rate of $130, ensuring they receive at least what their peers in federal service earn.
  • Pension Offset Stipend: Introduces a new provision allowing the adjutant general to provide a stipend to service members on state duty. This stipend is calculated as five percent of their basic pay and addresses any differences in pension benefits compared to equivalent federal service.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

The bill updates Minnesota Statutes, specifically section 192.49, by: - Establishing a minimum daily pay threshold for both officers and enlisted personnel when engaged in state active service. - Introducing a pension offset stipend to mitigate disparities between state and federal service pension benefits.
