Expedited Air Travel for Severely Injured or Disabled Veterans

This new law makes air travel easier for severely injured or disabled veterans by providing them with free access to the TSA PreCheck program. This aims to improve the comfort and safety of travel for those who require special accommodations, such as wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs. The act also mandates informing veterans about available programs that facilitate security screening.
Key points
Veterans with specific severe disabilities (e.g., loss of limb, paralysis, blindness requiring mobility assistance) will receive free access to the PreCheck program.
The PreCheck program allows for faster and less intrusive security screening at airports, significantly easing travel for individuals with mobility limitations.
Government agencies (TSA and Department of Veterans Affairs) have one year to implement a process for veterans to access these benefits.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will actively inform veterans about TSA programs designed to improve screening for passengers with disabilities.
