State Sponsored Life Insurance Program; provide for National Guard members.

HB 1713 establishes a state-sponsored life insurance program for Mississippi National Guard members, facilitated by the Mississippi Military Department and sponsored by the Adjutant General. The bill enables voluntary enrollment in coverage provided through the National Guard Association of Mississippi (NGAMS), allowing members to learn about, enroll in, or adjust their benefits during training events. It authorizes program representatives to conduct briefings and coordinates premium payments with federal systems (DFAS) for members who choose to participate. The program does not create new insurance but makes existing coverage accessible, with participation strictly optional for all National Guard members.
