Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026
To authorize an extension and expansion of the reimbursable screening services program of the Transportation Security Administration, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9391, proposes to extend and expand the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) reimbursable screening services program. This program allows the TSA to reimburse certain airport authorities for costs related to screening passengers and baggage. The extension aims to enhance security measures at airports while ensuring that the financial burden is shared between the federal government and airport authorities.
The bill would primarily affect airport authorities, airlines, and passengers by potentially reducing the costs of security services and improving the overall security infrastructure at airports. By allowing TSA to reimburse these expenses, it seeks to create a more efficient and effective security environment.
As of June 23, 2026, the bill has been introduced, referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security, and has passed a report with a recommendation. It was debated in the House and passed by voice vote on July 13, 2026. The bill is now placed on the Union Calendar, awaiting further action.
