## Summary

**This bill would require explicit state and District of Columbia consent** before the President or the Secretary of Defense can order National Guard units to perform full-time duty or training. It would also make those orders subject to the Posse Comitatus Act limits on military participation in civilian law enforcement. - Governors and the D.C. Mayor gain formal approval power over federal-directed full-time Guard duty in their jurisdictions. This gives state and local leaders a direct say before Guard units are assigned to extended federal missions. - National Guard members would face restrictions on being used in domestic law enforcement roles that conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act.
