## Summary

**Reports to Congress**: The SUN Act would require the President to send Congress a detailed report within 15 days whenever National Guard members are deployed or otherwise used inside the United States. The report must state the legal basis and goals and include evidence behind that assessment. It must describe effects on the situation and any interactions between Guard members and civilians. It must include reports from local and State law enforcement, an estimate of the total federal cost including indirect Department of Defense costs, and a certification that the deployment will not interfere with the military’s ability to respond to disasters covered by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The reporting requirement does not apply to Guard use under a presidential Stafford Act declaration for natural disasters or other weather-related events.
