Bill > HR590

This bill amends Title 32 of the United States Code to modify regulations regarding full-time National Guard duty performed within a state, territory, or the District of Columbia. Specifically, the bill requires the consent of each state's chief executive officer (typically the governor) before National Guard units can support operations or missions requested by the President or Secretary of Defense. In the case of operations in Washington D.C., the Mayor's consent would be required. Additionally, the bill explicitly states that such training or duty must comply with the Posse Comitatus Act, a federal law that restricts the federal government from using military personnel to perform domestic law enforcement activities. The key change is adding an extra layer of state-level approval for National Guard deployments within state boundaries, ensuring that state leadership has a say in how and when their National Guard units are utilized for specific operations.
