or the dependents of the member are entitled to receive compensation from the State

of Nevada, in accordance with the provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive,

commencement of his or her disability, but the compensation must not exceed the maximum

prescribed in chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, or chapter 617 of NRS. 2. The provisions of this section do not apply to a member of the militia of the State

or any dependents of the member who is receiving or is entitled to receive compensation

or benefits for an injury, wound, illness, disability or death described in this section

pursuant to any law or regulation of the Federal Government, if: (a) The federal compensation or benefits arise from military duties performed pursuant

to Title 10 or Title 32 of the United States Code; and (b) The wound, injury, illness or disability is not an aggravation or recurrence of

a wound, injury, illness or disability that arose from previous duties performed pursuant

to Title 10 or Title 32 of the United States Code.
