Bill Summary
The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: Allows the AG to help with a call into active service of the Oregon guard only for cer- tain reasons. (Flesch Readability Score: 62.8). Allows the Adjutant General to facilitate, assist or coordinate in the mobilization of the Oregon National Guard under Title 10 of the United States Code or Title 32 of the United States Code under an authority other than the Governor, only if the active service is for certain listed reasons. Prohibits the state government from facilitating, assisting or coordinating in the mobilization of the Oregon National Guard under Title 10 of the United States Code or Title 32 of the United States Code under an authority other than the Governor if the active service is for law enforcement duties or immigration enforcement duties. Prohibits the Governor or the Adjutant General from allowing an individual or unit of the Oregon National Guard to be called into active service if the call into active service results in the Oregon National Guard being incapable of responding to a statewide emergency. Prohibits the militia or armed forces of another state, territory or district of the United States from entering the borders of this state for the purpose of performing military duty within the bor- ders of this state or performing military duty within the borders of this state, unless the Governor consents or the militia or armed forces are serving in a federal active duty status. Declares an emergency, effective on passage.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the conditions under which the Oregon National Guard can be called into active service, defining "active service" as full-time duty under Title 10 or Title 32 of the U.S. Code when authorized by someone other than the Governor. The Adjutant General, the highest-ranking officer in the Oregon National Guard, can only facilitate such mobilizations for specific reasons like congressionally authorized military operations, national disasters, or training for primary duties. Crucially, the bill prohibits the state from assisting in mobilizations for law enforcement or immigration enforcement duties, though it allows for border security support. It also prevents the Governor or Adjutant General from deploying the Guard in a way that would leave the state unable to respond to a statewide emergency, and restricts the entry of other states' militias or armed forces into Oregon for military duty unless the Governor consents or they are on federal active duty.
