This proposed legislation, known as the "District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act," aims to significantly alter the command structure of the District of Columbia National Guard. Its primary purpose is to extend to the Mayor of the District of Columbia the same authority over the D.C. National Guard that governors of the several states exercise over their respective National Guards. This transfer of power would encompass the administration of the Guard and its deployment for responding to natural disasters and other civil disturbances. The bill achieves this by amending several sections of the D.C. Official Code and federal law, specifically Titles 10 and 32 of the U.S. Code. Key provisions include designating the Mayor as the Commander-in-Chief of the D.C. National Guard, granting the Mayor authority over the appointment of commissioned officers, and enabling the Mayor to call the Guard for duty. Furthermore, it shifts responsibility for various personnel matters, such as relief from duty and active Guard and Reserve duty orders, from the President or the Commanding General to the Mayor. The legislation also makes a conforming amendment to the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to reflect these changes.
