District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act

Introduced·9/2/25

Extends authority over the District of Columbia National Guard to the Mayor of the District of Columbia.

The District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act aims to extend the same authority over the National Guard of the District of Columbia to the Mayor of the District of Columbia as Governors of states have over their respective National Guards. This includes administrative powers, such as appointing officers, issuing supplies, and ordering active duty or relocation of units. The bill makes several amendments to existing statutes to reflect this change in authority.
