Revises provisions relating to the state militia. (BDR 36-398)
AB 281 revises Nevada's compensation rules for state militia members injured, disabled, or killed while on active duty. It changes the benefit calculation so members or their dependents now receive compensation equivalent to federal military benefits (under Title 10 or 32 of U.S. Code) rather than the previous state-based formula. The bill specifically applies to Nevada National Guard members and reservists activated by the governor, ensuring their benefits align with federal standards for similar military service. It also clarifies that state benefits don't apply if the member is already receiving federal compensation for the same injury or death.
