Bill > S1568

This bill, titled the Pay Our Military Technical Corrections Act of 2013, makes technical adjustments to the Pay Our Military Act to ensure that midshipmen at the United States Merchant Marine Academy who are also appointed as midshipmen in the Navy Reserve are included in provisions for continuing appropriations for military pay. Specifically, it amends Section 2 of the original Pay Our Military Act to clarify that the appropriations cover these individuals, adding language to include those specified in section 51311(b) of title 46, United States Code, and explicitly mentioning the Department of Transportation in relation to the United States Merchant Marine Academy. The bill also makes minor wording changes to existing paragraphs and adds a new provision to clarify the Secretary of Transportation's role concerning the Merchant Marine Academy, with these changes taking effect as if they were part of the original Pay Our Military Act.
