Restores press access to the Pentagon for credentialed journalists.
The Protecting Pentagon Press Access Act aims to restore unescorted access to the Pentagon for credentialed journalists, reversing restrictions imposed by the Secretary of Defense in 2025. It mandates the Secretary to reinstate access to areas previously available on May 22, 2025, including the "Correspondents' Corridor" and designated press working spaces. The Act also requires the Secretary to ensure the integrity of the process for issuing Pentagon Facilities Alternative Credentials, designating the Pentagon Force Protection Agency for the security review.
