Bill > S3959

This bill, the Transportation Security Screening Modernization Act of 2024, requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to streamline the enrollment processes for individuals applying for TSA security threat assessment programs, particularly the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) and Hazardous Materials Endorsement (HAZMAT Endorsement) programs. The key provisions of the bill include allowing individuals to enroll at any TSA-authorized center and use that enrollment for multiple programs, enabling individuals to enroll in multiple programs simultaneously at a reduced cost, aligning the expiration dates of the security threat assessments, and minimizing the duplication of costs and processes associated with these programs. The bill also mandates an audit by the Comptroller General to identify any redundancies and opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these programs, and requires the TSA to implement the recommendations from the audit.
