This bill would ensure that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which screens passengers and baggage at airports, can continue paying its employees and operating during a government funding gap that begins February 14, 2026. Without this measure, TSA workers like airport security screeners would go unpaid and airport security operations could be disrupted during the funding lapse. The bill allows essential TSA functions to continue until Congress passes a regular budget or another funding measure.
