Bill > HR1893

This bill, the Transportation Security Preparedness Act of 2021, directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop a comprehensive plan to address the event of a communicable disease outbreak. The key provisions include: requiring the TSA to survey its workforce on the agency's COVID-19 response and use the findings to inform the preparedness plan; mandating the development of the plan within two years, which must cover communication and collaboration with various federal agencies, the TSA workforce, international partners, and the public; and outlining specific elements the plan must address, such as protecting the safety of the TSA workforce, establishing criteria for adjusting checkpoint operations, and identifying potential obstacles to the agency's response. The bill also requires a review of the plan every two years and a Comptroller General report assessing the plan's alignment with federal strategies and the TSA's preparedness to implement it.
