S 1976 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Skillbridge Congressional Fellowship Act of 2025

This bill creates the Skillbridge Congressional Fellowship program, allowing active-duty military members to serve in congressional offices for up to 180 days. It directly affects eligible service members who can participate in fellowships with a Member of Congress's personal office, congressional leadership, or a committee. Key provisions require military leaders to get office approval before placement, limit one fellow per office/committee at a time (with a 14-day transition window), and mandate an orientation program covering legislative processes and ethics. The program aims to connect military experience with congressional work through structured, time-limited placements.
