13 Interim Topics: Guard Re-employment Rights & Veteran Preference Points 13

14 Military Friendly State Advocacy group scorecard used by Under Secretary of Defense The Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel & Readiness Seeks to maintain the welfare of the active duty, guard, and reserve service members and their families living within their borders Wyoming deserves to be recognized locally and nationally for their support of the military 14

15 Current DOD 10 Key Issues Currently, efforts are being focused on the following 10 key issues (as approved by the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel & Readiness) which promote the well-being of our service members and their families 15

16 Interim Topic: Re-employment Rights for Military Members Many Wyoming residents who live and work in Wyoming are members of the National Guard of another state. This is often because the other states National Guard is closer or has career specialties not present or open in the One of the robust military member protections this Legislature has provided is the right to re-employment once any military service ends, (W. S ) generally applicable to State Active Duty Currently, this protection is not clearly applicable to Wyoming residents serving in the National Guard of another state 16

17 Interim Topic: Guard Re-employment rights recommendation W. S provides the right of reinstatement to former employment to any member of a uniform service called to military duty. Recommend W. S (a)(ix) be amended to include service in the national guard of any state. Example - add the following language in italics and underlined : "Uniformed services" means the armed forces, the army national guard and the air national guard of any state, the commissioned corps of the public health service and any other category of persons designated by the president in time of war or emergency; 17

18 Employment Protections during State- Sponsored Activation 18

19 Interim Topic: Veteran Preference Points 19

20 Interim Topic: Veterans Preference Points While the practice is widespread in government, veteran s preference given by private sector employers in hiring can violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and various equal employment opportunity laws. At least 17 states have now enacted laws to allow private employers within the state to provide some type of preference to veterans in their private hiring actions, if they so choose. 20

21 Interim Topic: Veterans Preference Points Recommend Legislature consider adding statute allowing private employers to grant a preference to veterans in hiring similar to the law of Minnesota (S.F. 1599, 2012). Example add new section of W.S and re-title: Permissive Preference For Veterans In Private Employment. 1. A private, nonpublic employer may grant preference to a veteran in hiring and promotion. 2. A private, nonpublic employer may grant preference in hiring and promotion to a spouse of a disabled veteran who has a serviceconnected permanent and total disability and to a surviving spouse of a deceased veteran. "Disabled veteran" in this subdivision means a person who has had a compensable service-connected disability as adjudicated by the United States Veterans Administration, or by the retirement board of one of the several branches of the armed forces. 3. Granting preference under subparagraph (1) or (2) does not violate any local or state equal employment opportunity law. 21
