AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota House of Representatives bill (H.F. No. 2338), authored by Olson, proposes modifications to pay and allowances for military personnel on state active duty and introduces a pension offset stipend. Specifically, the bill:

  1. Increases Minimum Pay Rates:

    • Commissioned officers on state active service will receive pay equivalent to their counterparts in the U.S. Armed Forces, but not less than $130 per day.
    • Enlisted personnel on state active service will receive either their equivalent military pay or a minimum of $130 per day, whichever is greater.

  2. Establishes a Pension Offset Stipend:

    • The bill authorizes the adjutant general to provide a stipend to service members on state active duty.
    • This stipend amounts to 5% of their basic pay and is intended to address pension inequities between state and federal service.

The bill was initially referred to the Veterans and Military Affairs Division for consideration.
