What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Guarding Readiness Resources Act," aims to change how funds are handled when the National Guard Bureau receives reimbursements from various jurisdictions. It specifically addresses payments received from States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, or the Virgin Islands for the use of military property. The act dictates that these funds must be credited back to the specific appropriation or account used for the original obligation or an available account for those same purposes. Additionally, it restricts how these reimbursed funds can be used by the Department of Defense.
