Sponsor:

Chamber: House

Stage: Standing Committee

What does this amendment do?

This amendment weakens the prohibitive language of the Defend the Guard Act by changing mandatory restrictions to aspirational statements and removing specific enforcement language.

Changes the title from 'providing legislative findings; prohibiting the release' to 'providing legislative findings regarding' the Wyoming National Guard, removing the explicit prohibition language from the bill's scope statement. (Page 1, line 2)
Replaces the legally binding phrase 'Notwithstanding any other provision of law,' with the permissive phrase 'It is the desire of the Wyoming legislature that,' converting the section from a legal mandate to an expression of legislative preference. (Page 3, line 7)
Changes 'shall not be released' to 'should not be released,' converting the National Guard deployment restriction from a mandatory requirement to a recommendation. (Page 3, line 8)
Deletes the remainder of the line after 'insurrection,' removing text that would have provided additional enforcement or regulatory language. (Page 3, line 16)
Deletes lines 17 and 18 entirely, which contained the requirement that the governor take all actions necessary to comply with the Defend the Guard Act provisions. (Page 3, lines 17-18)
