Guarding Readiness Resources Act

HR 1695, the Guarding Readiness Resources Act, clarifies how the National Guard Bureau handles reimbursement funds from states. It requires that funds received from states (including Puerto Rico, DC, Guam, and the Virgin Islands) for using military property must be credited to specific accounts and can only be used by the Department of Defense for repairing, maintaining, or replacing assets directly supporting National Guard units operating under state control. This bill directly affects states that reimburse the National Guard Bureau and ensures these funds are restricted to maintaining military assets, not general purposes.
