What this bill would do
The NOTICE Act aims to place limitations on the domestic deployment of National Guard members. It amends title 10 of the United States Code to establish new notification requirements for the President. Under this bill, the President must notify Congress at least 24 hours before calling National Guard members into Federal service. The required notice must include specific details regarding the reason for deployment, the geographical area, the duration, and the training of the units. Furthermore, if a deployment lasts longer than 48 hours, the President is required to provide written updates to Congress every 72 hours.
