    In subsection (a), the word ``has'' is substituted for the words 
``shall have''.
    In subsection (b), the word ``after'' is substituted for the words 
``subsequent to''. The words ``the provisions of'' are omitted as 
surplusage. The words ``department that includes the'' are inserted 
before the words ``armed force'', since the review is carried out by the 
department and not by the armed force.
