Bill > HB1211

This bill prohibits public airports offering commercial services from entering into agreements that allow private third-party vendors to use standard or Transportation Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck security lanes. Specifically, the bill prevents airports from permitting expedited security screening vendors to share these security lanes, with existing agreements grandfathered in until their expiration date. The legislation provides an exemption for airports where a private vendor has obtained dedicated, exclusive TSA security lanes for their own use. The bill clarifies that airlines certified under federal regulations are not considered private third-party vendors, and airline-specific priority services for their own passengers are not affected by this restriction. The provisions will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving airports time to adjust their existing agreements. The intent appears to be maintaining the integrity and efficiency of standard airport security lanes by preventing third-party vendors from using them for expedited screening services.
