What this amendment would do

SA 3994, submitted by Mr. Padilla, is an amendment to SA 3951, which is proposed for bill H.R. 4016. The bill focuses on appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

The purpose of this amendment is to limit how funds are used regarding the deployment of members of the Armed Forces for domestic law enforcement purposes.

It aims to ensure that funds cannot be used for these deployments unless:

  • There is a written request from the Governor of a State.
  • There is a written request from the Mayor of the District of Columbia.
  • Authority is invoked under chapter 13 of title 10, United States Code, which is known as the "Insurrection Act".
