What this bill would do

The Pay TSA Act of 2026 aims to ensure that passenger security fees are used exclusively for aviation security. It establishes a Transportation Security Trust Fund within the Department of Homeland Security to support TSA operations and personnel. This fund will receive deposits from the "9/11 Security Fee" and make them available without fiscal year limitations. The bill also ensures that aviation security operations continue even during a lapse in appropriations. Additionally, it creates an Aviation Security Technology and Infrastructure Account to support the modernization of security systems.
