Iowa SF227 restricts deployment of state military units in foreign conflicts unless the U.S. declares war.

Iowa SF227 amends state law to prohibit the deployment of the army national guard, air national guard, and civil air patrol into active combat or hazardous service in foreign conflicts unless the United States has officially declared war for specific purposes. This restriction does not affect the governor's authority to deploy troops for domestic civil support. The bill also includes legislative findings criticizing Congress for allegedly abdicating its war declaration powers.
