HF 522: Relating to circumstances necessary prior to deployment of state military units in active combat or hazardous service related to conflict in a foreign state

What it does

This bill prohibits the national guard, the air national guard, and the civil air patrol from being released from this state into active combat or into hazardous service relating to an armed conflict in a foreign state unless the United States has officially declared war for the express purpose of repelling an invasion, suppressing an insurrection, or executing the laws of the United States. The bill does not limit the authority of the governor to consent to the deployment of troops for defense support of civil authorities. The bill makes legislative findings related to United States congressional abdication of powers to declare war.
