Bill > HB2217

This bill adds a new section to Arizona state law that provides a $10,000 life insurance benefit for officers and enlisted personnel of the Arizona National Guard, which will be fully funded by the state. The insurance coverage is based on a federal life insurance program outlined in 37 United States Code Section 707 and will be paid out to the named beneficiary of the service member, or if no beneficiary is specified, according to standard state inheritance laws. Importantly, this new $10,000 benefit is supplemental to other existing life insurance benefits that National Guard members may already receive under different state statutes, meaning it provides additional financial protection for military personnel beyond their current coverage. The bill aims to enhance the financial security and support for members of the Arizona National Guard by ensuring they have a baseline life insurance benefit at no cost to themselves.
