Amended IC 10-16-7-19(b) so the state pays reasonable funeral expenses up to $20,000, from $8,800, when a Guard member dies in the active service of the state; amended IC 5-10-11-3 so a Guard member on state active duty is a state employee for the $100,000 line-of-duty death benefit; made members on state duty state employees for workers' compensation; and opened the National Guard tuition supplement to credential, licensing, trade and apprenticeship programs. Approved May 1, 2025; the funeral figure took effect July 1, 2025. Flagged because the Army benefits library still prints $8,800.
