Militia Disability Equality Act

California’s Military and Veterans Code, in Division 2, Part 1, Chapter 5, Article 4, contains the State Militia Disability Equality Act. Section 345 names Article 4.

Section 346 provides that, when any officer, warrant officer, or enlisted member of the California National Guard or the organized militia who is not in active service in this state is wounded, injured, or disabled in the line of duty when performing military duty of any nature, the Military Department is required to determine two specified amounts.

If the Military Department determines that the amount described is greater than the other specified amount, then the department is required, upon an appropriation of funds to the department by the Legislature for this purpose, to provide to the officer, warrant officer, or enlisted member an amount equal to the difference between those two amounts.
