§ 44-83. Pay and allowance of members.
When Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
when called into state active duty, not in the service of the United
States, officers members of the National Guard and members of
the Virginia Defense Force shall receive the same pay and allowances
as prescribed for members of like rank in the United States Armed Forces. For
each day of such service, members of the National Guard shall receive the same
pay and allowances as if they were on a day of Annual Training. For each day of
service, members of the Virginia Defense Force called to state active duty
shall receive the same pay and allowances as persons of like grade in the
National Guard for a day of Annual Training, capped at 25 years of service
equal to their rank and years of service, as determined by the Department of
Military Affairs. The Adjutant General may increase state active duty pay on an
annual basis by a rate not to exceed the most recent percentage increase in
basic pay for members of the Armed Forces.
[ 2. That the provisions of this act shall not become effective unless an appropriation effectuating the purposes of this act is included in a general appropriation act passed in 2020 by the General Assembly that becomes law. ]
