Bill > HR2353

This bill aims to expand security screening requirements for certain air carrier operations by mandating that all covered air carrier operations be subject to the Aircraft Operator Standard Security Program within 360 days of the Act's enactment. The bill defines "covered air carrier operations" as air carrier services that operate under specific federal regulations (parts 135 and 380), conduct passenger-carrying operations for compensation where they offer individual seats in advance and provide public schedules, operate airplanes with more than nine passenger seats, and do not use Transportation Security Administration (TSA) managed checkpoints. The TSA Administrator is required to revise existing rules, guidance, and policies to implement these new requirements, with the ultimate goal of enhancing aviation security for smaller commercial air carriers that may have previously been subject to less stringent screening protocols. The bill represents an effort to close potential security gaps in air transportation by extending standardized security screening practices to a broader range of commercial air operations.
