What it does
The bill would transfer authority over the District of Columbia National Guard from the President of the United States to the Mayor of the District of Columbia, granting the Mayor the same powers that state governors have over their respective National Guards. This includes authority over administration, deployment for natural disasters and civil disturbances, appointment of officers, calling troops to duty, and related personnel and administrative functions. The bill also makes conforming amendments to Titles 10 and 32 of the U.S. Code and the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to reflect this change in leadership.
