SB1047

Arizona SB1047 restricts the deployment of the Arizona National Guard into active duty combat without a congressional declaration of war or specific.

Arizona SB1047 amends state law to prohibit the release of the Arizona National Guard into active duty combat unless the United States Congress has declared war or taken specific action to call forth the guard for executing federal laws or repelling invasions and suppressing insurrections. The governor is mandated to ensure compliance with these requirements. Active duty combat is defined as participating in armed conflicts, performing hazardous services related to conflicts in foreign states, or executing duties through war-related means.
