Limiting Military Support for Civilian Law Enforcement and Banning Dual Service.

This Act imposes strict limits on the use of military personnel and equipment to support civilian law enforcement activities, requiring Congressional approval for support lasting more than 30 days. A key change is the prohibition of simultaneous service in the Department of Defense and civilian law enforcement agencies, aiming to increase transparency and separate military and police functions. Citizens also gain the right to file a civil lawsuit if these new federal restrictions are violated.
