The National Guard Heritage Welfare Society Act amends Title 10 of the U.S. Code to officially recognize the National Guard Relief Foundation as a military welfare society. By adding the foundation to two existing lists, the bill allows it to receive space and services under the Department of Defense and to be treated as an authorized non‑federal entity for certain participation by armed‑force members. This primarily affects National Guard personnel and the foundation itself.

  • Amends Section 1033(b)(2) of Title 10 to list the National Guard Relief Foundation as an authorized non‑federal entity for certain participation by members of the armed forces.
