Bill 119 hr 1170, also known as the "Expedited Access for Members of Congress Act," aims to amend title 10 of the United States Code to allow Members of Congress and certain Congressional employees to have quicker access to certain military installations operated by the Department of Defense.

Overall, the "Expedited Access for Members of Congress Act" aims to improve transparency and accountability within the Department of Defense by facilitating greater access for lawmakers to military installations.
