§ 20-4-7.2. Legislative findings and purpose
A. The legislature finds that: (1) the national guard has a proud tradition of military service with thousands of
New Mexicans having answered the call of the nation and served in the national guard; (2) there have been instances in which the dependents of members of the national guard
have been left without adequate financial resources when a national guard member has
been killed while on active duty; (3) members of the national guard are now being asked to serve extended periods of
active duty in combat areas; (4) members of the national guard are eligible for life insurance policies up to the
maximum amount allowable through the federal servicemembers' group life insurance
program; and (5) members of the national guard provide New Mexico and its citizens valuable benefits
through their service inside this state and through their recently extended periods
of active duty in combat areas outside of New Mexico, and in exchange for these extended
periods of active duty they should receive assistance with their premiums for the
federal servicemembers' group life insurance program. B. The purpose of creating and funding the service members' life insurance reimbursement
fund is to provide a benefit to members of the national guard in exchange for and
in recognition of their assumption of extended periods of active duty in combat areas,

of the state of New Mexico.
