The SUN Act would require the President to report to Congress within 15 days after using or deploying National Guard members at a location in the United States. The report must explain the legal basis and goals, describe effects and interactions with civilians, include information from local and State law enforcement, estimate federal costs, and certify that the use will not interfere with disaster response by the Armed Forces. This requirement would not apply to National Guard use under a presidential disaster declaration for a natural disaster or weather-related event.
Congress would receive information about covered domestic National Guard deployments. The bill does not require the report to be made public.
The bill sets no funding amount. It requires the report to estimate total federal costs, including indirect costs to the Department of Defense.
