The payment would be 50% of the member’s active‑duty basic monthly pay if recovery is two weeks or less, or 150% if recovery exceeds two weeks, provided they follow Guard procedures, give advance notice, use a designated transplant hospital, and do not receive paid leave from their employer. The measure failed to pass.
