An Act clarifying the duties of the adjutant general
SD 798 clarifies the adjutant general's authority by explicitly stating they have command of all Commonwealth militias and removes a prior restriction prohibiting them from personally commanding troops. This change directly affects the adjutant general and the state's military forces by establishing clear command responsibilities in law. The bill modifies Section 15(b) of Chapter 33 of the General Laws to eliminate ambiguity about the adjutant general's role without altering the militia's structure or operations.
