AI Summary

This bill, known as the "TSA Reaching Across Nationalities, Societies, and Languages to Advance Traveler Education Act" or the "TRANSLATE Act," requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop a plan to ensure that TSA materials disseminated in major airports can be better understood by more people accessing these airports. The plan must identify the most common languages other than English used by individuals traveling through or working in each major airport and outline a strategy to improve the communication of TSA materials in those languages, as well as for individuals with vision or hearing impairments or other barriers to understanding such materials. The TSA must implement the plan within 180 days of submitting it to Congress, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) will review the implementation within one year.
