Improving Travel for Military Members Act

Floor Speech

Date: July 13, 2026
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 9328, the Improving Travel for Military Members Act.

Our military servicemembers and their families are required to travel regularly, uprooting their lives to move to new locations.

Last year, TSA initiated a pilot program at select airports to provide Active-Duty military and their families front-of-line access to security screening.

H.R. 9328 would cement TSA's ongoing pilot program and codify requirements for appropriate security protocols.

Expediting wait times for servicemembers and their families makes travel a little bit easier and a little bit less stressful for them, and I support advancing this effort.

Mr. Speaker, military servicemembers and their families make sacrifices for our Nation every day. We owe it to them to make their lives easier in ways big and small wherever and whenever we can. This bill represents a step toward easier travel for Active Duty military and their families.

I thank the gentlewoman for her work on that, and I yield back the balance of my time.
