AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would move the duties of the head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to the Secretary of Transportation. It would change federal law so that the TSA is located in the Department of Transportation as a distinct entity, rather than under the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Existing rules, contracts, permits, lawsuits, and pending applications would continue as before the transfer. TSA staff, property, records, and unspent funds would be made available to the Department of Transportation at times set by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
