This bill amends Section 10-1-502 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to revise the compensation structure for enlisted militia members on state active duty. The key change is the removal of the previous 15-day limitation on compensation for enlisted members, allowing them to receive pay at rates equivalent to twice those allowed for an enlisted member of corresponding grade and length of service for the entire duration of their active duty, rather than just the first 15 days.

Additionally, the bill maintains provisions for officers and rated aviation officers, ensuring they receive appropriate pay and allowances during active duty. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, reflecting the urgency of providing fair compensation to enlisted militia members serving in state emergencies.
