Bill overview
This bill, the District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act, aims to grant the Mayor of Washington, D.C., the same authority over the National Guard as governors have over their state guards. It does this by amending several key sections of federal law, including the District of Columbia National Guard Act and the U.S. Codes related to the military. Specifically, it transfers command authority from the President to the Mayor, and adjusts references to ensure the Mayor has control over the Guard’s operations and deployment.
