To amend title 10, United States Code, to permit the Secretary of Defense to carry out certain environmental restoration projects at facilities of the National Guard and the Air National Guard.
This bill removes barriers preventing the Secretary of Defense from conducting environmental cleanup projects at National Guard and Air National Guard facilities. It amends Title 10, U.S. Code, to eliminate references to "State-owned" facilities and jurisdictional requirements, allowing the Secretary to address environmental issues at these sites regardless of ownership or whether the facility is under DoD control. The change directly affects all National Guard facilities nationwide by enabling federal environmental restoration work previously restricted. Key provisions update existing laws to include National Guard facilities in defense environmental restoration programs and accounts. This is a procedural adjustment to streamline environmental remediation at Guard locations, not a new policy.
