State management: other; outside military activity in this state; prohibit unless authorized by the governor. Amends title of 1967 PA 150 (MCL 32.501 - 32.851) & adds sec. 132.
HB 4796 would require any armed military force from another state, territory, or district to obtain the Michigan governor's permission before entering the state to perform military duty. This applies to out-of-state military units but excludes U.S. military forces acting under valid presidential authority. The bill amends Michigan's Military Act to add this authorization requirement as a new Section 132. It directly affects military forces from other jurisdictions seeking to conduct training or operations within Michigan. The policy change aims to clarify state authority over military activity on Michigan soil.
