SUN Act

This bill, the SUN Act (S 2803), requires the President to submit a detailed report to Congress within 15 days whenever the National Guard is deployed domestically under federal law (excluding natural disaster responses). The report must include the legal justification, effects on local situations, input from law enforcement, total costs, and confirmation that the deployment won’t hinder disaster response under the Stafford Act. It directly affects the President and federal agencies by adding congressional oversight for most domestic National Guard uses. The exception for natural disasters covered by the Stafford Act is explicitly stated.
