What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act," seeks to amend the existing Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act. It requires the Transportation Security Administration to implement guidelines for the hygienic handling of breast milk, baby formula, and related cooling accessories during aviation security screening. The TSA Administrator must issue or update this guidance every five years to minimize contamination risks. These rules would apply to both TSA personnel and private security companies. Additionally, the bill mandates an audit by the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security.
