Keep Air Travel Safe: TSA Funding Guaranteed During Shutdowns.
This law ensures that airport security screenings (TSA operations) will continue without interruption, even if the federal government temporarily shuts down due to a lack of an approved budget. This means travelers can expect normal airport functioning and minimal security-related delays during budget crises. Funding will be drawn from previously secured, unspent funds.
Key points
Airport security screenings (TSA) will not stop if the federal government experiences a budget lapse (shutdown).
TSA operations are guaranteed to continue for up to 180 days or until a new appropriation bill is passed.
Funding for TSA during a budget crisis will utilize unobligated balances from prior legislation, ensuring continuity of service.
