This bill transfers all functions and responsibilities of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from its current leadership under the Department of Homeland Security to the Secretary of Transportation. The change affects airport security screening, transportation safety oversight, and all related TSA operations and programs nationwide. The bill ensures that existing TSA contracts, permits, rules, and ongoing legal proceedings continue without interruption, while allowing the Transportation Department to exercise all the authorities previously held by TSA leadership. The legislation also makes conforming changes to federal law, repealing the section of the Homeland Security Act that established the TSA and modifying transportation code to reflect that TSA will now operate as a distinct entity within the Department of Transportation rather than within Homeland Security.
