District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act

This bill would give the Mayor of Washington, DC, the same control over the DC National Guard that state governors have over their state Guards, for how the Guard is run and managed. It also covers the Mayor’s role for Active Guard and Reserve duty, similar to a governor’s role in a state.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The DC Mayor and members of the DC National Guard.
• What changes: The Mayor would have governor-like authority for administration of the Guard, including matters tied to Active Guard and Reserve duty.
• Where it applies: The District of Columbia.
