S 3449 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To provide for limitations on domestic deployments of National Guard members.
Summary
S 3449 would require the President to notify Congress at least 24 hours before federalizing National Guard members and units. The notification must include a good-faith claim explaining the reason for federalization, such as an invasion, rebellion, or inability to execute federal law, along with specific details about the circumstances. The notification must also specify the geographical area and duration of deployment, the training National Guard units received regarding interactions with civilians, and their chain of command. For deployments lasting longer than 48 hours, the President must provide written updates to Congress every 72 hours with details about any changed conditions.
