What this amendment would do

SA 3601, submitted by Mr. Hickenlooper and Mr. Crapo, aims to add a new section to the bill called "Limitations Applicable to the Authority to Transfer Space Functions of the Air National Guard to the Space Force."

The purpose of this amendment is to update Section 514 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 by adding a "Rule of Construction" that specifies:

  • It does not authorize transferring a member of the Air National Guard of the United States unless it is on a one-time basis as specified in subsection (c).
  • It does not set a future precedent for waiving any provision of title 32.
