Moves Transportation Security Administration employees under the standard federal civil service system (Title 5) by the end of 2025, while protecting current pay, leave, retirement credit, overtime/availability pay, and bargaining rights. It directs quick consultation with the union representing screening agents, requires plans and explanations for the conversion, and preserves employees’ appeal and grievance rights during the transition.
It also orders a 90‑day briefing on assaults and threats against screening agents, annual morale and retention reporting, consultations on Federal air marshal wellness, multiple Government Accountability Office reviews on recruitment, implementation, diversity, and harassment protections, and a plan to align hiring and credentialing rules. Funding is authorized as needed, and existing laws barring strikes by federal employees remain unchanged.
Referred to the Committee on Homeland Security, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
