Four more countries join the list of qualified hazardous duty areas
What the document says“the term `qualified hazardous duty area' means each of the following locations, but only during the period for which any member of the Armed Forces of the United States is entitled to special pay under section 310 of title 37, United States Code”
The section rewrites section 11026(b) of Public Law 115-97 so that a qualified hazardous duty area means the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, Kenya, Mali, Burkina Faso and Chad, but only while a member of the Armed Forces is entitled to special pay under section 310 of title 37, United States Code for service there.
What the document actually says“the term `qualified hazardous duty area' means each of the following locations, but only during the period for which any member of the Armed Forces of the United States is entitled to special pay under section 310 of title 37, United States Code”
The term covers the places on the list below. A place counts only while special pay is due there. That pay goes to members of the Armed Forces.
Five places are named. One is the Sinai in Egypt. The other four are Kenya, Mali, Burkina Faso and Chad.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
