DescriptionThis Act repeals several previous Acts relating to military pensions, and specifies the means by which one may now qualify for such a pension. The Act is meant to apply for four years plus the time until the conclusion of the next legislative term, and was born of the need to reduce the amount of government money being spent on military pensions.
