Improving Travel for Military Members Act

What does the Improving Travel for Military Members Act do?

HR 9328 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC-3). Authorizes the TSA Administrator, not later than 60 days after enactment, to establish a pilot program at airports to expedite access to security screening for traveling active-duty military personnel and accompanying family members, so long as such access does not compromise security protocols. The pilot must screen each covered passenger under Secure Flight per paragraph (2) of section 44903(j) of title 49, prevent access to TSA PreCheck or other expedited lanes without an eligibility-indicating boarding pass under section 44901 of title 49, and permit local management to open or close checkpoint lanes and reallocate resources based on passenger volume. Selection criteria prioritize airports within an Administrator-set distance of a military installation (as defined in section 2801 of title 10) meeting an active-duty threshold. A briefing to House Homeland Security and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committees is due nine months after establishment, and the pilot has a three-year sunset.
