AI Summary
This bill, the Funding for Aviation Screeners and Threat Elimination Restoration Act (FASTER Act), repeals the requirement that a portion of the aviation security service fees collected from passengers be credited as offsetting receipts and deposited in the general fund of the Treasury. Instead, it requires such fees to be deposited into a separate account in the Treasury, which can only be used to pay the costs of the activities and services for which the fee is imposed. This change ensures that the revenue collected from passengers as aviation security fees is used to help finance the costs of aviation security screening, rather than being diverted to the general Treasury.
