BILL NUMBER:A9843
Title of bill
An act to amend the military law, in relation to active service
Purpose of the bill
This bill would allow individuals serving in the military to be considered actively serving when they are away from their residence and undergoing training.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of this bill amends subdivision 6 of section 1 of the military law in terms of the definition of "active service." This legislation adds to the definition by including service as a member of a national guard or as a reservist absent from his or her place of residence and undergoing training under the direction of the army, air force, navy, marine corps or coast guard, at a place other than that of such person's residence.
Justification
Often, individuals serving some military duty have to move out of their state of residency while they are in training. Usual- ly, these people lose their state residency and must relocate to where they are training, which can sometimes be burdensome to the individual and/or family of the individual. This legislation will include the 6 months of training into the definition of "active service" so that they can count this as time served in the military.
