Bill > S260

This bill aims to improve the hygienic handling of breast milk, baby formula, and related items during airport security screening. Specifically, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator is required to develop and update guidance every five years to minimize contamination risks during screening processes. The guidance must be created in consultation with national maternal health organizations and establish hygienic standards for screening personnel, including both TSA employees and private security company staff. The bill mandates that any additional testing during screening must adhere to these hygienic standards. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General must conduct an audit within one year of the bill's enactment, examining compliance with the new requirements and investigating the impact of various screening technologies on breast milk and baby formula screening. The audit will also report on the rate at which these items are denied entry into secure airport areas. The goal is to protect the safety and quality of breast milk and baby formula during airport security procedures while ensuring parents can travel with necessary infant feeding supplies.
