Town Halls for All Act of 2026

This bill would require each Member of Congress to hold and attend at least 12 public town halls per calendar year in their home district, or in their state for Senators. A town hall would have to be an in-person event that is free to join, accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and at least 1 hour long unless emergencies cut it short. The public would have to get notice of the date, time, and city at least 4 days ahead through email, newsletters, social media, the Member's website, or another usual method. The rules would take effect at the start of the next Congress after the bill becomes law.
