Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) does not provide protection to members of the National Guard serving the states, nor do such members receive the protections of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act (SSCRA) (which was re-written in 2003 as the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) when in state (rather than federal) service. The state protections listed below are in addition to protections under federal laws.
Members of the organized militia in the active service of the state shall be entitled to the same reemployment rights granted to members of the reserve components of the armed forces of the United States by applicable federal law.
