What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Fast Lane for Youths Act" or the "FLY Act," aims to create a faster system for gate passes and flight access. It requires the Administrators of the FAA and TSA to work together to achieve this. The goal is to allow caregivers, parents, and guardians to accompany minors and passengers needing assistance to their flights more easily. The system will involve providing up to two gate passes to those who already have TSA Pre-Check status. This system must be established within 180 days of the Act's enactment.
