S 1456 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Military Installation Retail Security Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the U.S. military from renewing, extending, or entering into new long-term retail contracts on military bases with businesses controlled by "covered nations" (nations designated under existing law). It requires the Secretary of Defense to review all existing such contracts within 180 days, terminating those involving covered retailers unless a waiver is granted or the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) determines the business won't harm national security. Waivers are only allowed if the retailer provides vital services with no alternatives and security risks are mitigated. The bill directly affects retailers operating on military bases who are controlled by designated nations, with immediate impact on their ability to maintain base contracts.
