Each member of the militia ordered into  the active service of the state pursuant to sections six  and  seven  of  this  chapter,  shall  receive for each day or part thereof of such duty  the  same  pay  and  allowances  as  are  received  by  members  of  the  appropriate   force  of  the  armed  forces  of  the  United  States  of  corresponding grade, rating  and  length  of  service,  or  one  hundred  twenty-five dollars per day, whichever is greater.    2.  Within  the amount appropriated therefor, pay for the type of duty  described in subdivision two of section forty-six of this chapter of not  less than two hours  duration  for  each  day  of  such  duty  shall  be  one-thirtieth of the monthly basic pay prescribed for the members of the  appropriate   force  of  the  armed  forces  of  the  United  States  of  corresponding grade, rating and length of service.    3. Within the amount appropriated therefor, pay and allowances for the  type of duty described in subdivision three of section forty-six of this  chapter during each day or part thereof of such duty shall be  the  same  as  the  pay  and  allowances  prescribed for members of the appropriate  force of the armed forces of the United States of  corresponding  grade,  rating and length of service.    4.  Pay  and  allowances  for each day or part thereof of special duty  described in subdivision four of section forty-six of this chapter shall  be the same as the pay and allowances  prescribed  for  members  of  the  appropriate   force  of  the  armed  forces  of  the  United  States  of  corresponding grade, rating and length of service.    5. In lieu of the provisions of subdivision four of  this  section,  a  medical   examiner   may   be   paid  for  his  services  and  necessary  disbursements and a judge advocate may be paid for  legal  services  and  necessary  disbursements in any suit, action or proceeding, such amounts  as shall be approved by the governor.    6. Members of the militia shall not receive from the state the pay  or  the  pay  and  allowances  provided for by this section when such pay or  such pay and allowances are paid from federal funds.    7. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this chapter,  members  of  the  organized  militia  may  with  their consent perform without pay or  without pay and allowances any of the types of military  duty  described  in  section  forty-six  of  this  chapter  pursuant  to orders issued by  competent  military  authority,  provided   that   necessary   traveling  expenses,  subsistence  and  per  diem  allowances may be furnished such  members within the discretion of the adjutant  general  and  within  the  amount appropriated therefor.    8.  Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of this chapter, members of  the organized militia ordered into the active service for military  duty  in  a  foreign  area  shall  be  paid  by electronic fund transfer. Each  organized  militia  member  shall  designate  one  or   more   financial  institutions  or other authorized payment agents and provide the payment  certifying or authorizing agency  with  information  necessary  for  the  recipient  to  receive  electronic  funds transfer payments through each  institution  so  designated.  The  adjutant  general  shall  waive   the  requirements  of  this subdivision for a member of the organized militia  upon written request by such organized  militia  member  or  where  such  member  fails  to  designate one or more financial institutions or other  authorized payment agent within thirty days  of  the  request  for  such  information  by  the  division  of  military  and  naval  affairs.  This  subdivision shall not apply to payments made  pursuant  to  section  two  hundred twelve of this article.    9.  Notwithstanding  any provision of law to the contrary, each member  of the force of the organized  militia,  as  that  term  is  defined  in  subdivision nine of section one of this chapter, who is eligible for andhas not elected to decline service member's group life insurance through  the  provisions  of  38  U.S.C. § 1965 et.seq., shall, during periods of  military service, as that term is defined in subdivision one of  section  three  hundred  one of this chapter, or whenever ordered to active duty,  other than for training, pursuant to Title 32 of the United States Code,  be reimbursed by the state  for  certain  service  member's  group  life  insurance  premium  costs  actually  incurred  during such periods. Said  reimbursement payments shall be sufficient to assume the costs for up to  four hundred thousand dollars worth of term life insurance  through  the  service member's group life insurance program (38 U.S.C. § 1965 et.seq.)  and  shall  be made pursuant to regulations promulgated pursuant to this  section  by  the  adjutant  general  in  consultation  with  the   state  comptroller.  The  state shall not, by the terms of this subdivision, be  responsible  for  the  procurement  of  service  member's   group   life  insurance,  or  any other form of insurance. Premiums reimbursed for the  provision of service member's group life insurance shall be paid only to  provide coverage which is not  paid  for  or  reimbursed  by  any  other  governmental entity; however, in no event shall the premium amounts paid  pursuant  to  this  subdivision exceed the amount necessary to provide a  four hundred thousand dollar portion of any service member's group  life  insurance  in  effect.  In  no event shall a service member who declines  service member's group life insurance be entitled to any direct  payment  pursuant to the terms of this section.
