AI Summary
This bill, by amending Section 30-3-40.4 of Rhode Island General Laws, increases the maximum amount of life insurance coverage for which the state will reimburse Rhode Island National Guard members called up for federal duty from $400,000 to $500,000. This means that if a National Guard member is mobilized for federal duty for more than 30 days and chooses a federal term life insurance policy, the state will cover the cost of premiums for up to $500,000 of that coverage, an increase from the previous $400,000 limit.
