(b) If a United States Department of Defense Record of Emergency Data, DD Form 93, or its successor form, was in effect at the time of death for a decedent who died in a manner described by title 10 United States Code sections 1481(a)(1) through (8), the DD Form 93 controls any other written instrument described in section 531B-3 or 531B-5 with respect to designating a person to control the disposition of the decedent's remains.
