Plain-language change summary

The revised bill HB 1513 includes a provision to ensure that service members of the Virginia National Guard or Defense Force who are called to active duty during a state of emergency can have their health care premiums partially covered. Specifically, after 14 days of service, the Department of Military Affairs can pay the premium portion that was previously covered by the service member's employer. This change is significant because it offers financial support to service members and their families during times of crisis, helping to alleviate the burden of unexpected health care costs while they serve.
