Section 1 [Repealer] repeals the following sections of Minnesota Statutes:

192.12: provides that service by any person in the U.S. Armed Forces in the time of war shall be counted as continuous service in the National Guard for all privileges and exemptions that are provided by law for members of the National Guard. This section also provides that continuous service for an officer shall include only the time the person was commissioned as an officer.

192.15: provides that an efficiency board established by federal law may determine the fitness for service of any National Guard member.  This section also provides that commissions of officers of the National Guard may be vacated for any of the following reasons:  resignation, absences without leave for three months, pursuant to a court martial, or upon recommendation of an efficiency board.

192.16:  leaves to federal law the disposal of officers of the National Guard that are rendered surplus by the disbandment of their organizations.

192.21: provides that an enlisted member discharged from the National Guard shall receive a discharge in writing.  The form of the notice and the classification of the discharge shall be as prescribed by federal law.  In time of peace, discharges may be given prior to expiration of terms of enlistment, as provided under federal regulations.

192.42: provides that the National Guard shall be uniformed, armed, and equipped as provided by federal law.  Uniforms, arms, and equipment shall be procured and issued by the proper officers as needs require. These items shall be accounted for as regulations provide.
