Service member protections.

Existing law authorizes a member of the United States Army Reserve or the National Guard who is called to active duty, as specified, to defer payments on certain obligations while serving on active duty. Existing law requires the reservist or the reservist's designee to deliver a written request for the deferral to the obligor in order to receive a deferral. This bill would require a request for deferral to be submitted not later than 90 days following the period of active duty on which the deferral is based.
