§1066 Use of Commissary Stores and Mwr Facilities: Certain Civilian Employees

Summary

Certain civilian employees may be allowed to buy food and personal care items at a commissary or MWR retail store on the military base where they work. Civil service mariners who work for the Military Sealift Command may use those stores the same way active-duty service members do. The Secretary of Defense must make rules to charge a user fee for people who can use the stores only because of this rule. The fee must cover any extra Treasury costs caused by credit or debit card purchases, like card network and processing fees. Money from the fee goes into the General Fund of the Treasury. This fee is added on top of the uniform surcharge in section 2484(d). Definitions (one line each): MWR retail facility — meaning given in section 1063. Protective services civilian employee — positions in General Schedule series GS‑0080, GS‑0081, GS‑0083, GS‑0085, GS‑0089.
