National Guard Relief Act
Sponsored By: Representative Finstad, Brad [R-MN-1]
Introduced
Summary
Reclassifies the National Guard Relief Foundation as a military welfare society under Title 10. The bill would add the Foundation by inserting a new subparagraph (E) into 10 U.S.C. 1033(b)(2) and 2566(b)(1). That single definitional change would place the Foundation among organizations that the military secretaries treat as military welfare societies, letting it participate in or be affected by the same programs and authorities that apply to those societies.
