Bill > HB1271

This bill addresses agreements between public airports providing commercial services and private third-party vendors regarding security screening lanes. Specifically, the legislation prohibits public airports from entering into agreements that allow private third-party vendors to use standard security lanes or Transportation Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck lanes. However, the bill provides two key exceptions: first, agreements already in place before January 1, 2025, will be grandfathered in, and second, the prohibition does not apply if the private vendor has obtained dedicated TSA security lanes exclusively for their use at the airport. The bill also clarifies that airlines certified under federal regulations are not considered private third-party vendors, and airlines can continue to offer their own priority lanes or services for their passengers without being subject to these restrictions. The legislation will take effect on November 1, 2025, and appears designed to maintain the integrity and standardization of airport security screening processes by limiting third-party vendor access to standard security lanes.
