 AN ACT to amend the military law, in relation to providing for the

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 247 of the military law is amended by adding a new
 2 subdivision 1-g to read as follows:
 3 1-g. The governor is hereby authorized to present in the name of the
 4 legislature of the state of New York, a military decoration, to be known
 5 as the "Campaign Medal for Service", bearing a suitable inscription,
 6 device, and ribbon, all of which shall be of suitable design, to any
 7 person (i) who is a citizen of the state of New York or (ii) who was a
 8 citizen of the state of New York while serving in the armed forces of
 9 the United States, and who, while serving in the United States Armed
 10 Forces, defined as army, air force, navy, marine corps, or coast guard,
 11 served in active duty in Iraq. Not more than one campaign medal for
 12 service shall be issued to any one person; nor shall any citation be
 13 awarded or presented, under the provisions of this subdivision, to any
 14 person whose entire service subsequent to the time of the receipt of
 15 such medal shall not have been honorable. For each succeeding medal as
 16 provided in this section, such person shall be entitled to wear, as the
 17 chief of staff of the state may direct, a ribbon whose color and design
 18 shall be selected by the division of military affairs. In the event of
 19 the death of any person during or subsequent to the receipt of such
 20 citation the campaign medal for service shall be presented to such
 21 representative of the deceased as may be designated. The chief of staff
 22 shall make such rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary for the
 23 proper presentation and distribution of such decorations.
 24 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
