Neighborhood Skies Act of 2026
The Neighborhood Skies Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of Defense to submit annual reports to Congress on military proficiency flights conducted in the National Capitol Region. These reports must be provided within one year of the bill's enactment and continue for two more years, detailing the number of flights that occurred in the preceding 12-month period. The legislation directly affects the Department of Defense by establishing a reporting requirement for flight activities in the Washington, D.C. area. This measure aims to increase transparency regarding military training operations near the nation's capital without changing flight regulations or operational procedures.
