What this bill would do

The "Keep Air Travel Safe Act" is designed to provide funding for Transportation Security Administration activities during a government shutdown. It allows the TSA Administrator to continue all programs, projects, or activities that were conducted in the previous fiscal year. The funding is subject to specific rates for operations based on previous appropriation acts or joint resolutions. This authority remains available until a new appropriation bill becomes law or for a maximum of 180 days. If the period lasts through the end of a fiscal year, funding continues into the next year. The funds are drawn from specific unobligated balances from Public Law 119-21.
