relative to the term of office and mandatory retirement age for the adjutant general for department of military affairs and veterans services.

HB 1519 changes the mandatory retirement age for New Hampshire's Adjutant General and Deputy Adjutant General from 65 to 64 years. It also modifies the Adjutant General's term of office to end after 6 years or upon reaching age 64 (previously ending only at age 65). The bill does not alter existing service requirements (e.g., 5 years in the National Guard) or rank qualifications (colonel for Adjutant General, major for Deputy). These changes directly affect the state's top military leadership positions within the Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services.
