This bill requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to continue all of its programs, projects, and activities if there is a lapse in appropriations. The TSA Administrator must use certain unobligated funds described in the bill to keep operations going. The continued funding and authority may not exceed the rate of operations provided in the prior fiscal year. Funding provided under this bill would be available from the first day of the lapse until the earlier of when a regular appropriation or a continuing resolution becomes law, or 180 days after the lapse begins. Programs continued under this bill remain subject to the same terms and conditions that applied on the first day of the lapse. The bill says the amounts to be used are the unobligated balances made available under section 90003 of Public Law 119-21.
If this bill becomes law, the TSA would keep carrying out its programs and activities during a funding lapse. The bill sets limits so the TSA operates at no more than the prior years rate and only uses the specified unobligated balances. The continuation would stop once Congress passes the regular appropriations or a continuing resolution, or after 180 days.
The bill directs the TSA to use unobligated balances that were made available under section 90003 of Public Law 119-21 as the source of funds during a lapse. Funding under this bill is limited to the rate of operations from the previous fiscal year and is available only until the earlier of a new appropriation/continuing resolution or 180 days.
