Studies have also shown that for the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans the risk is seventy-five percent greater than the United States general population. The legislature further finds that returning servicemen and women must attend various seminars as they readjust to civilian life. S 2. The military law is amended by adding a new section 301-c to read as follows: S 301-C. ACCIDENT PREVENTION COURSE INFORMATION.
