The National Guard Protective Zone Act aims to create legal protections for members of the National Guard by establishing criminal penalties for anyone who interferes with designated protective zones around them during their deployment. The main goal is to ensure that National Guard personnel can perform their duties without being impeded or intimidated. Key provisions of the Act define what constitutes a protective zone, which is an area extending up to 15 feet around a National Guard member. This zone must be clearly marked with warnings, signs, or barriers.
