The Rights for the TSA Workforce Act converts TSA employees to the standard federal personnel system by December 31, 2025, giving them stronger job protections, union rights, and pay aligned with other federal workers, while freezing current TSA personnel policies until that transition occurs. The bill requires the TSA Secretary to submit a plan within one year to modernize and streamline background check requirements for TSA hiring and contractors. The legislation authorizes Congress to appropriate whatever funding is necessary to implement these changes, with funds remaining available until spent, though no specific dollar amount is specified. Limited exceptions allow the TSA to adjust pay, address security threats, and adopt new policies before the transition deadline, provided Congress is notified within seven days of such changes.
