3/11/2025, 4:23 AM
Summary of Bill HR 1170
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.

Currently, accessing these installations can be a lengthy and bureaucratic process, hindering the ability of lawmakers to effectively carry out their duties of oversight and decision-making.
If passed, the bill would provide expedited access for Members of Congress and certain Congressional employees, allowing them to more easily visit military installations and gather information firsthand. This would enable lawmakers to better understand the operations and needs of the military, ultimately leading to more informed decision-making on matters related to national 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. This bill has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of Congressional oversight and decision-making in matters related to national security.
