ADJUTANT GENERAL'S RETIREMENT AGE - S.B. 1221: COMMITTEE SUMMARY
Senate Bill 1221 (as introduced 4-10-02)
Sponsor: Senator Valde Garcia
Committee: Senior Citizens and Veterans Affairs
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Michigan Military Act to allow the Adjutant General to serve until the age of 64 rather than 62. (The Adjutant General is the Director of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.)
The Act requires that the Governor appoint the Adjutant General from among qualified Federally recognized officers of the National Guard. The Adjutant General must have served as an officer of field or general grade in the State military establishment for at least five years before appointment. The Adjutant General must receive pay and allowances equal to those of an active Army or Air Force officer of like grade and service. The Adjutant General serves at the pleasure of the Governor and, unless relieved sooner, may serve until the age of 62. The bill would raise that to 64.
