without substantive change from former Art. 96 1/2, §
57 and the second sentence of § 51A.

In subsections (a) and (c) of this section, the
references to "applicable law" are substituted for the
former references to "appropriate State laws" and "any
applicable federal laws, rules and regulations", for
clarity and brevity.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to service in the armed forces "at any time"
is deleted as unnecessary in light of subsection
