NATIONAL GUARD – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding the Governor’s authority regarding active duty combat service of the organized milita.

Summary

The bill adds a new Idaho code section that defines "active duty combat" and says the governor may only order the state militia into such combat if Congress has officially declared war or has specifically called up the Guard for war‑related duties. It does not affect non‑combat federal service, training, or domestic support missions. The change clarifies the governor’s authority and aligns state law with constitutional war‑declaration powers.
