What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Rights for the TSA Workforce Act," aims to improve the security and stability of the Transportation Security Administration. It does this by transitioning TSA employees to the personnel system used under title 5 of the United States Code. The legislation includes rules for converting pay, benefits, and leave to ensure stability during the transition. It also establishes new requirements for the Office of Personnel Management and the National Finance Center to handle payroll and human resources. Additionally, the bill mandates several oversight reports from the Comptroller General regarding recruitment, diversity, and workplace safety.
