FASTER Act

This bill changes federal law on the security fees that airline passengers pay. It repeals a requirement that part of these fees be credited as offsetting receipts and deposited in the general fund of the Treasury. Instead, the fees would be deposited into a separate Treasury account. The TSA Administrator could spend money from that account only to pay for the security activities and services the fee is charged for, even if other laws, such as the Anti-Deficiency Act, would otherwise limit spending.
