The bill amends the Wyoming national guard member referral incentive program to expand eligibility for those who can participate in the program. It introduces new definitions and clarifies the roles of various individuals involved in the referral process. Specifically, the bill allows retired military service members, current employees of the military department, and recruits beginning the enlistment process with the Wyoming national guard to provide referrals for potential recruits. The military department is tasked with maintaining records of these referrals and distributing referral bonuses upon successful accession of the referred individuals. Additionally, the bill defines "retired military service member" as someone who has retired from the armed forces, including the army national guard or air national guard. It also stipulates that referral bonuses will not be distributed to referring recruits until they have officially joined the Wyoming national guard. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
