Travel Mask Mandate Repeal Act of 2025

This bill would stop federal agencies from requiring people to wear masks for COVID‑19 on public transportation and in transportation hubs like airports and train stations. It would also cancel the CDC’s January 29, 2021 mask order and related TSA directives, so they would no longer have any effect once this becomes law. The background notes that CDC and TSA already stopped enforcing that order after an April 18, 2022 court ruling, and the COVID‑19 public health emergency ended on May 11, 2023.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Travelers and workers on planes, trains, buses, and in transportation hubs.
• What changes: No federal COVID‑19 mask mandates on transportation; the old CDC/TSA mask rules are formally nullified.
• When: The change takes effect on the date the bill becomes law.
