Statute Text
Acting
Adjutant General.
(1) If the federally recognized Oregon National Guard, or any portion thereof,
is called or ordered to active federal duty by the President, and if such call
or order shall include the Adjutant General and Assistant Adjutants General,
the Governor may appoint an Acting Adjutant General who shall assume the
responsibilities and powers and perform all duties required of the Adjutant
General, and who shall be selected from the federally recognized officers not
called or ordered to active duty and who meet the qualifications established
for the appointment of an Adjutant General, or if no such officer is available,
then from the following:
(a) Officers of
the National Guard Reserve.
(b) Inactive or
retired officers of the Oregon National Guard.
(c) Army or Air
Force officers who have retired and are residents of the State of Oregon.
(2) If, on the
occurrence of a vacancy in the office of Adjutant General, there is no duly
qualified and appointed Assistant Adjutant General, the Governor may designate
an Acting Adjutant General who shall assume temporarily the responsibilities
and powers and perform all duties required of the Adjutant General until such
time as an Adjutant General is regularly appointed and qualified. An Acting
Adjutant General designated under this provision shall have the same
qualifications as are required for the appointment of an Adjutant General.
(3) The Acting
Adjutant General serving under the terms of this section shall be compensated
as determined by the Governor, but the amount shall not exceed that authorized
for a regularly appointed Adjutant General.
(4) The Acting
Adjutant General, before entering upon the duties of office, shall give to the
state a fidelity bond in such penal sum as may be fixed by law, or if not so
fixed, as may be approved by the Governor, with a corporate surety who is
authorized to do business in this state. The premium for such bond shall be
paid by the military department. [1961 c.454 §12; 1963 c.62 §2]
