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

H 355 requires Vermont's Governor to review every federal order placing Vermont National Guard units in combat to ensure it complies with the U.S. Constitution. The Governor must confirm deployments are based on a Congressional declaration of war or one of three specific exceptions: repelling a military invasion, suppressing an insurrection, or executing constitutional laws. If an order fails this review, the Governor must block the deployment and report the decision to the legislature within 10 business days. This law does not affect domestic missions (like disaster response) or training deployments under federal law.
