This bill authorizes the Transportation Security Administration to run an optional pilot program at airports that speeds security screening for adults traveling with children twelve years of age and under. The Administrator may start the program only if it does not compromise security protocols. Passengers would still be screened according to their vetting status under the Secure Flight program, and no one could enter a TSA PreCheck or other expedited lane without a boarding pass showing eligibility. In choosing airports, the Administrator would give priority to those with heavy family traffic and adequate space and staffing. The Administrator would have to brief House and Senate committees on the program within 270 days of starting it, and the program would run for two years.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 4 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 6 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 3 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: American Association of Airport Executives; Rhode Island Airport Corporation; Delta Air Lines Inc; Airports Council International -- North America. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
