AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to the New Mexico State Defense Force. It removes the age limit for State Defense Force members, allowing them to be 18 years old or older. It also allows the Adjutant General, rather than the Governor, to prescribe the uniform and insignia of the State Defense Force. Additionally, it clarifies the workers' compensation benefits for State Defense Force members, specifying that they are covered during "militia duty" but not during "cadre duty" which refers to normal training and organizational activities. Finally, the bill grants the Adjutant General additional powers to call up the State Defense Force when needed to assist the National Guard.
