This bill requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO), an independent federal watchdog agency, to conduct yearly reviews of how the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) implements its anti-discrimination policies during airport security screening. The GAO must submit its first assessment within 90 days of the bill becoming law and then annually thereafter to Congress's Homeland Security and Commerce committees. The assessments are intended to identify whether the TSA is following its own non-discrimination rules and to pinpoint any actions needed to improve compliance with those policies. The bill directly affects TSA operations and airport security practices, as well as the millions of Americans who fly and go through security screening. No specific funding amount is designated in the bill text provided.
