 To amend title 10, United States Code, to reduce the minimum age for 
 receipt of military retired pay for non-regular service from 60 to 55.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. REDUCTION IN MINIMUM AGE FOR RECEIPT OF MILITARY RETIRED PAY 
              FOR NON-REGULAR SERVICE.

    (a) Reduction in Age.--Subsection (f) of section 12731 of title 10, 
United States Code, as added by section 647 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181; 122 Stat. 
160), is amended--
            (1) in paragraph (1), by striking ``60 years of age'' and 
        inserting ``55 years of age''; and
            (2) in paragraph (2)(A)--
                    (A) by striking ``the date of the enactment of the 
                National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
                2008'' and inserting ``January 28, 2008''; and
                    (B) by striking ``60 years of age'' and inserting 
                ``the minimum age in effect under paragraph (1)''.
    (b) Application to Existing Provisions of Law or Policy.--With 
respect to any provision of law, or of any policy, regulation, or 
directive of the executive branch, that refers to a member or former 
member of the uniformed services as being eligible for, or entitled to, 
retired pay under chapter 1223 of title 10, United States Code, but for 
the fact that the member or former member is under 60 years of age, 
such provision shall be carried out with respect to that member or 
former member by substituting for the reference to being 60 years of 
age a reference to having attained the eligibility age applicable to 
the member under subsection (f) section 12731 of title 10, United 
States Code, as amended by subsection (a).
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection (a) shall 
take effect on the first day of the first month beginning on or after 
the date of the enactment of this Act and shall apply to retired pay 
payable for that month and subsequent months.
