Summary

The bill would bar the Kansas National Guard from being deployed to active combat overseas unless Congress passes a formal declaration of war or takes a specific action calling the Guard into federal service. It still permits the governor to approve Guard missions that support civil authorities under Title 32. The measure seeks to restrict federal use of the Guard without a clear constitutional war declaration.
