Congressional Access to Military Posts Act of 2025

This legislation mandates the Secretary of Defense to establish procedures for expedited access to certain military installations for Members of Congress and their accompanying staff. Under these procedures, a Member of Congress can gain entry to a "covered installation" by simply presenting a valid congressional identification card, with accompanying Congressional employees receiving the same access. A crucial aspect of this bill is the explicit prohibition against requiring Members of Congress to schedule their access in advance of their arrival at the installation, thereby ensuring immediate entry. The bill defines a "covered installation" as a military base located in the United States or Guam where a Department of Defense common access card is the sole requirement for a service member's access. This measure aims to streamline congressional oversight and interaction with military facilities.
