Could go either way

The bill has support from both parties and helps military families, which usually makes it popular, but it still needs to move through the committee process.

Key Points

This bill adds the National Guard Relief Foundation to the official list of military welfare societies. These groups provide emergency financial help, like loans and grants, to service members and their families during hard times.
By getting this official status, the foundation can work more closely with the military. This usually means they can have offices on military bases and make it easier for members to donate through their paychecks.
The change helps National Guard members get the same kind of support that active duty members in the Army or Navy already receive from their own relief groups. It ensures Guard families have a dedicated place to turn for financial aid.
