What a yes vote endorsed
Improving Travel for Military Members Act
What this does
The bill authorizes but does not require the Transportation Security Administration to create a pilot program that speeds airport security screening for active-duty military personnel and their accompanying family. Within 60 days of enactment the Administrator may establish it, and only to the extent that doing so does not compromise security protocols. If the program is established, passengers are still screened according to their existing Secure Flight vetting status, and no one may enter a PreCheck or other expedited lane without a boarding pass that already shows eligibility. In choosing airports the Administrator must give priority to those near military installations with large numbers of stationed personnel, and must brief congressional committees within nine months. Any program the Administrator sets up runs for three years.

Reported lobbying
At least
2
organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing.
A floor, not a total. Those organizations were counted by the client name on 2 quarterly reports filed by 2 registered lobbying firms in 2026 Q2. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, so an organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. They carry no per-bill dollar figure and no position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The pull came up 2 short in 2025 Q4 and 7 short in 2026 Q2 against the register's own count, so those quarters are the filings posted rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
