Improving Veterans Access to Congressional Services Act of 2025

This legislation directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to allow Members of Congress to use Department of Veterans Affairs facilities for the purpose of meeting with their constituents. Upon request, the Secretary must permit such use, subject to specific regulations. The Secretary and the Administrator of General Services are jointly tasked with identifying suitable and available spaces within VA facilities for these congressional meetings. Within 90 days of enactment, the Secretary must establish regulations governing this use. These regulations will require that designated spaces are available during normal business hours, are visible and accessible to constituents, and are subject to a rental rate comparable to GSA office space, payable from the Member's official allowance. Importantly, the regulations cannot prohibit Members from advertising their use of these spaces. To ensure proper conduct, the regulations must comply with the Hatch Act and relevant VA rules, explicitly prohibiting activities such as political campaigning, soliciting changes to federal policy, or interfering with facility operations. Furthermore, photographing or recording veteran patients, or any individual without consent, is forbidden, as is photography for political campaign materials. Members will also be barred from using these facilities during the 60-day period immediately preceding a federal election in the relevant jurisdiction, and use cannot be unreasonably restricted if space is available and does not impede VA operations.
