   AB 1491, Vargas.  Retired officers:  active duty.
   Existing law authorizes the Governor to detail officers of the

noncommissioned officers of the retired list to active duty in the
same manner.

  SECTION 1.  Section 230 of the Military and Veterans Code is
amended to read:
   230.  The Governor may detail, with their own consent, officers or
noncommissioned officers of the retired list to active duty and
return them to the retired list in his or her discretion.  Officers
or noncommissioned officers retired for age may not be detailed to
command troops, but only to perform duties of staff corps or
departments, or to sit on boards, except in time of war or other
emergency, or imminent danger thereof, when retired officers or
noncommissioned officers may be detailed by the Governor, without
their consent, to perform any military duty designated by the
Governor.
