Establishes the "Defend the Guard Act"
This bill, known as the "Defend the Guard Act," would prevent the Missouri National Guard from being sent into active duty combat unless the U.S. Congress has issued an official declaration of war that specifically calls them to service. This would change the conditions under which members of the Missouri National Guard could be deployed for combat. The bill's effective date is contingent on at least ten other states passing similar laws.
