Sponsor introductory remarks on measure. (CR H692)
The All Access Act of 2025 gives a Member of Congress (House or Senate) the right to enter any "public building" (as defined in 40 U.S.C. 3301) if the Member displays identification issued by congressional officials. That access applies during regular business hours, and outside those hours if the Member notifies the head of the entity at least 12 hours before entry.
Liberals emphasize oversight and constituent service benefits.
Simple administrative change likely to attract minimal floor resistance in the originating chamber.

The bill does not specify additional vetting, permissible activities, enforcement mechanisms, or funding.
Narrow, low-cost administrative bill with modest risk from security-policy objections; more viable as part of a larger package than standalone.
How solid the drafting looks.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Liberals emphasize oversight and constituent service benefits.
Likely supportive overall because the bill facilitates congressional oversight, constituent services, and access to federal facilities.
Supporters would want safeguards to protect staff, transparency about use, and limits preventing misuse or circumvention of security for political theater.
Cautiously favorable to the goal of facilitating oversight and constituent service, but concerned about operational detail gaps.
Would seek clarifications on security coordination, liability, and practical notice procedures before endorsing.
Likely skeptical or opposed because it creates a special federal privilege, may undermine building security and property controls, and expands congressional prescriptive power over federal facilities without clear justification.
