SUN Act

This bill would require the President to send Congress a report within 15 days after deploying or using National Guard members at a location in the United States under federal law. The report would have to state the legal basis and goals for the deployment and the evidence behind them, describe its effects, and include reports from state and local law enforcement about interactions between Guard members and civilians. It would also have to estimate the total federal cost and certify that the deployment will not interfere with the military's ability to respond to disasters. The reporting requirement would not apply to Guard deployments made under a federal disaster declaration in response to a natural disaster or weather-related event.
