Bill > S3902

This bill amends the Insurrection Act to curtail violations against the civil liberties of the people of the United States. The key provisions are: 1. It requires the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Attorney General to certify to Congress before invoking the Insurrection Act's authorities to provide federal aid to state governments, use militia and armed forces to enforce federal authority, or suppress interference with state and federal law. The certification must include demonstrable evidence that the state is unable or unwilling to address the situation and a legal justification for federal intervention. 2. It establishes an expedited Congressional review process, allowing Congress to extend or terminate the President's Insurrection Act authorities through a joint resolution within 14 days of invocation. 3. It provides for judicial review, allowing individuals or entities injured by the use of the armed forces under the Insurrection Act to bring civil actions for declaratory or injunctive relief. 4. It restricts direct military participation in search, seizure, arrest, or similar activities unless expressly authorized by law.
