Bill > HB1519

This bill modifies the retirement and tenure rules for leadership positions in the New Hampshire Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services. Specifically, it reduces the mandatory retirement age for both the Adjutant General and Deputy Adjutant General from 65 to 64 years old, and adds a provision that the Adjutant General can serve for a maximum of 6 years in addition to the age limit. The bill maintains existing requirements that the Adjutant General must have at least 5 years of service in the New Hampshire National Guard, have achieved the rank of colonel, and be eligible for federal recognition as a brigadier general. Similarly, the Deputy Adjutant General must have at least 5 years of service in the New Hampshire National Guard or United States armed forces and have attained the rank of major. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, potentially impacting current and future military leadership appointments in the state.
