(This action is part of the Catalog of Legislative Actions.)
Declares that the federal executive’s pattern of false and pretextual claims of emergency, insurrection, or civil unrest to justify illegal uses of military and paramilitary force invalidates his authority to deploy federal troops, paramilitaries, or the National Guard of another state into [State] for law-enforcement purposes without the governor’s consent. Rejects any such deployment, whether purportedly justified under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, under the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. § 251–254), or under any other provision of law, absent the governor’s consent. Bars state and local officials from cooperating with such deployments and protects residents and officials from penalties for refusing to comply.
This provision is enacted as part of the Restore the Constitution Act, either initially or by amendment, and the general provisions of the Act apply to it, including jurisdiction.
