AI Summary
This bill, concerning the Adjutant General's recommendations for the Military Department, makes several changes to state law. Firstly, it broadens the definition of who is subject to state military duty, or the militia, to include all citizens and state residents between the ages of eighteen and forty-five who intend to become U.S. citizens, removing previous gender-specific language. Secondly, it grants the Governor more flexibility in appointing his military staff, allowing him to appoint a staff as he deems necessary rather than a fixed list of positions. Finally, it officially renames the state military training facility in Niantic as Camp Nett, honoring Colonel Robert B. Nett, and also establishes a dedicated account for billeting expenses at Camp Nett.
