Congressional Oversight Access Act
This bill prohibits federal agency personnel from using physical force, detaining, or interfering with Members of Congress while they conduct official oversight activities on federal property. It requires Members to identify themselves with valid congressional ID and confirms the law does not override standard security procedures or prevent action against immediate physical threats. The bill specifically protects oversight activities like investigations, reviews of federal programs, or site visits at government-owned or leased facilities (including detention centers), ensuring Congress can carry out its constitutional oversight role without physical obstruction.
