“To require a State to reimburse the Federal Government for the deployment of the National Guard to such State.”
No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section revises the presidential authority under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to call National Guard members and units of any state into federal service—in cases of foreign invasion or imminent danger thereof, rebellion or danger thereof, or inability to execute federal laws using regular forces—with orders issued through state governors (or the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard). It further requires the President, if determining within 30 days after the action's conclusion that the call-up resulted from a state government's action or negligence, to direct the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Treasury to calculate federal costs and reduce state funding by 100 percent of those costs after notifying the governor. (Thus, states may be fully reimbursed by the federal government for National Guard federalizations attributable to state negligence.) The President may waive this reimbursement for extreme state financial hardship or when the deployment primarily protects federal property or enforces federal law, as determined by the President. The Secretary of Defense may issue implementing regulations.
