§ 326 Military Personnel Security Duty
This law lets certain California military members be assigned to a security team and paid at a lower rank if they agree to give up higher pay.
A California National Guard soldier is asked to work on a state security detail and is offered pay at the rank of sergeant instead of his current captain rank.
Because the soldier agrees to the lower rank, he can be paid the sergeant salary even though he holds a higher rank, as long as he voluntarily waives the extra pay.
