This bill would make it easier for parents, guardians, and caregivers to go with kids or people who need help all the way to the airport gate. The FAA and TSA would set up a system so these helpers can get special gate passes, and if they already have TSA PreCheck, those passes would let them use the faster PreCheck line like a normal ticket would. The agencies must roll this out within 180 days after the bill becomes law. A summary notes that up to two gate passes may be given for this purpose.

Key points:

Who is affected: Parents, guardians, and caregivers helping minors or travelers who need assistance; only those who already have TSA PreCheck get the faster screening benefit.
What changes: A new system for issuing up to two gate passes so helpers can go through security and to the gate; passes will reflect PreCheck status for quicker screening .
When: The system must be in place within 180 days after the law takes effect.
