Bill > H2602

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 33 by adding a new section requiring the Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard to provide written notice to state legislators when the National Guard is activated and deployed within a legislator's district. Specifically, the notice must be provided in advance of deployment and include detailed information such as the reason for activation (including whether it was requested by a local official), the specific municipality or municipalities involved, the event or occurrence prompting the activation, and any additional details necessary to understand the scope and purpose of the National Guard's deployment. The bill aims to enhance legislative transparency by ensuring that state representatives and senators are promptly and comprehensively informed about National Guard activations that impact their local jurisdictions. This requirement would apply when the organized militia (another term for the National Guard) is deployed under Chapter 33 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
