HR 5989 United States House · 119th Congress

Supporting Troops’ Access to Recognition Services Act

This bill requires the Department of Defense to ensure military identification and eligibility facilities are located within 30 miles of every major city (population 300,000+). Each facility must be staffed at least two days per week during business hours to assist active-duty service members and their eligible dependents with military ID systems like DEERS and ADEERS. It mandates these facilities be physically accessible near large population centers, directly affecting service members and families needing routine ID services. The law specifies exact location and staffing requirements but does not alter eligibility rules or create new benefits.
