Agencies and tribes can use Civil Air Patrol help

The division can work with state agencies, local governments, and federally recognized tribes when asked. It can help with cadet training, communications, disaster relief, cyber missions, and search and rescue. The head can sign agreements and accept reimbursement for the division’s expenses.

Division hiring and federal ties protected

The director can hire staff and spend funds to run the division, within appropriations or other available funds. The law does not change the Washington wing’s federal rights or duties. It also does not limit that wing’s work with the U.S. government.

State Civil Air Patrol division created

The law creates a Washington division of the Civil Air Patrol inside the Military Department. It is made of volunteer civilian members of the Washington wing. The wing’s commanding officer leads the division, and an acting officer can serve with full powers if needed. The governor can call the division to state active service. The division includes officers, enlisted members, and cadets.
