An act relating to review of orders placing the Vermont National Guard in federal active duty status

This bill requires Vermont's Governor to review every federal order deploying the National Guard into armed hostilities to verify it has proper Congressional authorization for war or military force. If the Governor finds the order lacks such authorization, the bill empowers the Governor to block the deployment and mandates legal action by the Attorney General to prevent it. The legislation also establishes a policy that Vermont National Guard members should only serve in military conflicts with specific Congressional approval and requires the Governor to report review findings to state legislative committees within 30 days.
