Summary

Requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to issue initial hygienic guidance within 90 days and update it at least every five years to reduce contamination risks when bottles, breast milk, infant formula, purified deionized water for infants, juice, and related cooling accessories are re-screened or otherwise subject to additional screening. Also directs the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General to audit compliance and report to relevant congressional committees within one year, including how screening technologies affect those items and how often they are denied entry into sterile airport areas.

• TSA must issue hygienic screening guidance within 90 days and update it at least every five years.
• Guidance must be developed with nationally recognized maternal health organizations.
• Rules must minimize contamination risk to breast milk, infant formula, purified infant water, juice, and cooling accessories during re-screening.
• Hygienic standards must govern additional testing and apply to TSA staff and private screening contractors under federal law.
• DHS Inspector General must audit compliance and report to relevant congressional committees within one year.
• The OIG report must analyze how screening technologies, including bottled-liquid scanners, affect handling and denial rates of these items.
• No new funding or appropriations are specified in the legislation.
• Applies operational requirements and oversight rather than creating new benefit programs or tax changes.
