§ 123 Militia Enrollment Orders

This law lets the Governor tell certain officers to make a list of everyone who could be called to serve in the state militia, and it says where copies of that list must go.

Key Takeaways

  • •The Governor can require a militia enrollment whenever he thinks it’s needed.
  • •The enrollment must include any information the Governor asks for.
  • •Three copies of the enrollment are made: one for the county clerk and two for the Adjutant General.

Example

The Governor decides the state needs to know who could join the militia, so he orders the county sheriff and other local officers to write down the names, ages, and addresses of all eligible residents.

The officers create the list, then send one copy to the county clerk’s office and two copies to the state’s Adjutant General, just like the law requires.
