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 specify that both officers and enlisted members must receive pay and allowances at rates determined by law, based on their length of service in the U.S. Armed Forces. The bill establishes 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 removes the provision that guaranteed a minimum pay of $130 a day for enlisted personnel, thereby aligning their compensation with the new pay structure established in subdivision 1.
