This bill modifies the pay structure for commissioned officers and enlisted members engaged in state active service in Minnesota. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 192.49, subdivision 1, to include both officers and enlisted members, specifying that they must receive pay and allowances at the rate currently or subsequently established by law. The bill also stipulates that the basic pay for these individuals must be equivalent to the basic pay of an E-5 pay grade according to the military basic pay tables maintained by the federal Defense Finance and Accounting Service, replacing the previous fixed rate of $130 a day.

Additionally, the bill repeals Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 192.49, subdivision 2, which previously outlined the pay for enlisted persons called into state active service. This repeal indicates a shift away from the previous pay structure that guaranteed a minimum of $130 a day, aligning the compensation for enlisted members with the updated pay scale based on military pay grades.
