Statute 48-225: Pay and allowances; health insurance,
reimbursement of costs, when; active state service in
nonemergency situation; active duty; details.
(a) When an officer or enlisted person of the Kansas national guard is
ordered
by the governor to perform active state service,
such person shall receive from the state, pay and allowances as may be
authorized by the adjutant general at the
rate now or hereafter paid or allowed by law to officers and enlisted
persons of the same rank and length of service in the armed forces of
the United States. The minimum amount of such pay
and allowances shall not be less than the amount received by an individual in
the pay grade of E-6 with six years of military service credited for pay
purposes. During any period or consecutive periods of state active duty in
excess of
30 days, an officer or enlisted member of Kansas national guard shall be
entitled to reimbursement of the officer's or member's cost of
privately-purchased or
employer-provided health insurance for such officer or member and such
officer's or member's family
when the
policy of insurance was in force prior to such officer or member being ordered
to perform active state service. Such reimbursement shall not exceed the amount
paid for premiums for individual or family health insurance coverage under the
state employees group health insurance plan. The reimbursement shall be treated
as an
allowance and paid by the state and shall be considered as a cost of state
active duty. If any part of the
compensation of such persons for the above service is
paid by the United States, then there shall be paid from
state funds, only that part thereof not paid by the United States.
(b) The governor shall have authority to detail any member of
the
governor's staff or any other officer or
enlisted person of the Kansas national
guard upon any tour
of military duty or to attend any military or civil ceremony, within
or without the state, as the governor may deem for the best interest
of the service.
