6/18/2008--Passed House amended. Directs the Comptroller General of the United States to study and report to specified congressional committees on the functions and capabilities of the Civil Air Patrol to support the homeland security missions of state, local, and tribal governments and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Requires the Comptroller General to review the process by which the Civil Air Patrol may provide assistance to the Secretary of Homeland Security, other federal agencies, and states to support homeland security missions, including by providing aerial reconnaissance or communications capabilities for border security or by providing capabilities for collective response to an act of terrorism, natural disaster, or other man-made event.
Directs the Comptroller General's report to include assessments of:
(1) of the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of using Civil Air Patrol assets; and
(2) whether current mechanisms for requesting support from the Civil Air Patrol are sufficient.
