What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, members of a reserve component of the U.S. armed forces who are called into active federal service or special state service may subtract from federal adjusted gross income any amount of military pay they receive that is paid while the member is on active duty. Eligibility to claim the subtraction is dependent on the members being activated under specified sections of the U.S. Code.

This bill expands current law by making members of a reserve component of the U.S. armed forces or national guard eligible to claim the subtraction if they are activated by the secretary of a military department under an additional section of the U.S. Code that relates to orders to active duty for preplanned missions in support of the combatant commands.
