What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Guarding Readiness Resources Act," changes how the National Guard Bureau handles money received from various states and territories. It specifically addresses funds received as reimbursement for the use of military property. The legislation dictates that these funds must be credited back to the specific account that originally paid for the obligation or to a currently available account for those same purposes. Additionally, it limits how the Department of Defense can use these funds.
