Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 2251 amends the Government Code to direct the comptroller to establish a special account in the general revenue fund, consisting of gifts, grants, and legislative transfers or appropriations, from which to provide supplemental pay to Texas National Guard personnel who suffer economic hardship as a result of being called to active military duty by federal or state authorities. The bill establishes a limitation on the amount that may be paid, and it gives the adjutant general the power to determine whether an individual is eligible and the amount if any that the individual may receive. It also authorizes the adjutant general to adopt related rules.
