Bill Summary

The proposal would move the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from under the Department of Homeland Security to the Department of Transportation, meaning the Secretary of Transportation would oversee airport security screening and related functions instead of the current TSA Administrator. This change would affect millions of air travelers and TSA employees, potentially altering how airport security operations are managed and funded. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Homeland Security.
