AI Summary

This bill establishes the Defend the Guard Act in Idaho, which aims to limit the deployment of the Idaho National Guard for active duty combat unless the U.S. Congress has officially declared war or taken action to explicitly call forth the National Guard for specific purposes outlined in the U.S. Constitution. The bill recognizes the Idaho National Guard as separate from the federal military and seeks to protect the state's authority over its own militia to fulfill the mission outlined in the Idaho Constitution. The bill also allows the governor to consent to National Guard deployments for defense support and civil authority missions within the U.S. and its territories.
