This bill adds checks and transparency when the President uses National Guard or other military reserve forces inside the United States for domestic situations. Within 15 days of any such deployment under federal law, the President must send Congress a report explaining the legal reason and goals, evidence behind the decision, what happened on the ground (including any interactions with civilians and level of violence), input from local and state police, the full cost (including indirect costs and costs to called‑up Guard members), and a promise that this won’t hurt the military’s ability to respond to disasters. The head of the National Guard Bureau must also brief Congress on whether the deployment reduced violence and met the stated goals.

These reporting rules do not apply when troops are used under a presidential disaster declaration for natural disasters or severe weather events under the Stafford Act.

• Who is affected: The President, Congress, National Guard and other reserve members, local and state law enforcement, and communities where deployments occur.
• What changes: Fast (15‑day) reporting to Congress with clear reasons, evidence, outcomes, police input, full costs, and a disaster‑response safeguard; plus a follow‑up briefing by the National Guard Bureau chief.
• When: The report is due within 15 days after a domestic deployment; the exception applies during federally declared natural disasters and weather events.
