Summary of Bill A 1102 – Establishes the governor's military council

Overview

Bill A 1102, titled “Establishes the governor's military council,” is a measure introduced on January 9, 2025. The bill is currently referred to the Governmental Operations committee. The primary sponsor is Scott Gray. Related bills from prior sessions include A 7428, A 4456, and A 2975.

What the bill would establish

  • The bill aims to create a body known as the governor’s military council. The available information here does not include the full text, so specific details about the council’s composition, powers, duties, scope, or governance structure are not provided.

Key provisions and changes (as of available information)

  • At this time, the exact statutory provisions, membership requirements, appointment process, terms, reporting duties, budgetary authority, and interaction with existing state agencies (e.g., the National Guard, homeland security, or emergency management offices) are not specified in the material provided.
  • The bill’s title indicates an establishment role, but precise functions (advisory vs. decision-making authority), meeting cadence, and oversight mechanisms are not detailed in the information available.

Who would be affected

  • The governor’s office and related executive branch agencies would be the primary entities affected by the establishment of a governor’s military council.
  • Potential secondary effects could extend to the National Guard, state emergency management entities, veterans organizations, and contractors or offices involved in state defense and security policy. The specific impact depends on the council’s defined powers and responsibilities in the enacted text.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduction: January 9, 2025.
  • Current status: Referred to Governmental Operations (the committee responsible for evaluating legislation related to the structure and operations of government).
  • Legislative actions noted: two identical entries on January 9, 2025, both stating “REFERRED TO GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS.”
  • Next steps: If the bill advances, it would typically move through committee hearings, potential amendments, and then floor consideration in the relevant legislative chamber. The text, amendments, and fiscal note (if any) would clarify provisions and financial impact.

Related bills

  • A 7428, A 4456, A 2975 (prior-session): These related bills suggest prior attempts to establish similar military governance or advisory bodies, potentially providing context or groundwork for A 1102.
