Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows a member of the national guard who is called into state active
duty to receive the same amount of travel expenses as the federal government pays
to an officer or enlisted member of equal rank in the corresponding branch of the U.S.
armed forces. Currently, they are reimbursed the same amount of travel expenses
as state employees.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
