Bill overview
This bill clarifies that activities related to the training and readiness of the National Guard and Reserves during periods when Congress hasn't passed appropriations for the Department of Defense or Homeland Security can be considered ‘voluntary services’ accepted by the U.S. Currently, the government’s ability to accept voluntary services is limited during these times. This change aims to ensure that the military can maintain readiness even when funding is delayed. It specifically addresses training and readiness activities, not general employment.
