This bill modifies the compensation 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, specifically aligning the basic pay to that of an E-5 pay grade according to the federal military pay tables, rather than the previously set amount of $130 a day.

Additionally, the bill repeals subdivision 2 of the same statute, which previously outlined the pay structure for enlisted persons called into state active service, including a provision for a minimum daily pay of $130. This change aims to streamline the pay system for military personnel in state service and ensure that their compensation is consistent with federal standards.
