RE: H.C.R. No. 71
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 71 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE ABILITY OF NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS AND MILITARY RESERVISTS WITH TWENTY YEARS OR MORE YEARS OF SERVICE TO RECEIVE MILITARY RETENTION PAY IMMEDIATELY UPON RETIREMENT, REGARDLESS OF AGE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request that the federal government take action to provide national guard members and military reservists who serve for more than twenty years in such military service with the ability to retire and immediately qualify for military retention pay and military retirement pay, regardless of their age upon retirement on the same basis as members of the active military services who transfer to the retired reserve after twenty or more years of active service.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 71 and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
