The bill also changes requirements by removing some pay grade reduction rules, requiring members to exhaust certain benefits before accessing others, and allowing transfer of education assistance entitlements to dependents. These changes directly affect Oklahoma National Guard members' retirement pay, benefit access, and education assistance.
