This bill changes how money is handled when states and some U.S. territories pay back the National Guard Bureau for using military property. Instead of those reimbursements being treated loosely, the bill says the money must go back into the right government account and be used for the same kind of work it helped pay for. The goal is to make sure the National Guard gets the benefit of these funds and can use them to keep equipment and other assets in good shape for state-level missions.
- Reimbursement money from states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands would be credited back to the proper appropriation, fund, or account.
- The money could only be used by the Department of Defense for repair, maintenance, replacement, or similar needs tied to National Guard assets used while serving under state active duty.

Guarding Readiness Resources Act
This bill modifies the treatment of funds received by the National Guard Bureau as a reimbursement from a state or other U.S. territory (e.g., Guam) for the use of military property.
Specifically, the funds must be credited to (1) the appropriation, fund, or account used in incurring the obligation; or (2) an appropriation, fund, or account currently available for the purposes of which the expenditures were made. Further, the funds may only be used by the Department of Defense for the repair, maintenance, replacement, or other similar functions related directly to assets used by National Guard units while operating under state active duty status.
