        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 and
    
      has 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.
