Governor
to
Call
Out
the

Guard
in
Drug
Cases
3/13/98
HB 2596 in Oklahoma would allow the governor to order the Oklahoma National
Guard to assist law enforcement officers in drug matters. National guard
members would have to volunteer for the duty, which could take them beyond
Oklahoma's boundaries. Once assigned to duty under the bill, National Guard
members would be on federally funded status and could be helping federal,
state or local law enforcement agencies. The bill has passed the House
and is awaiting committee assignment in the state Senate.
