The bill, designated as S.C.M. 1004, is a concurrent memorial that urges the U.S. Congress to enact legislation to establish a Space National Guard. This initiative aims to enhance the capabilities, readiness, and economic efficiency of the Air National Guard's Space Operations. The bill does not anticipate any fiscal impact on the state General Fund.
The new language in the bill replaces the previous wording, which did not specify the establishment of a Space National Guard, with a clear directive urging Congress to take action on this matter. Additionally, it requests that the Arizona Secretary of State transmit this memorial to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress from Arizona, to ensure that the message is communicated effectively.
