This bill would move the functions of the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to the Secretary of Transportation. It keeps the TSA as a distinct entity inside the Department of Transportation and changes some federal law text to reflect the move. The bill lists rules for how existing orders, permits, contracts, suits, and proceedings continue after the transfer. It also says personnel, property, records, and unspent funds related to those functions will be made available to the receiving agency as the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directs. The bill allows the official who receives the functions to delegate them to staff but remain responsible. It also gives OMB authority to make incidental transfers and to handle other administrative steps needed to complete the transfer. The bill was introduced on May 7, 2026 by Representatives Jared Moskowitz and Tim Burchett and was referred to the House subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security.
No publicly available information about estimated costs or savings from this bill. The bill does state that existing appropriations and funds used for the transferred functions "shall be available" for related expenses during the period those funds remain available.
