AI Summary

This bill, the Treating Small Airports with Fairness Act of 2016, mandates that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a government agency responsible for transportation security, must provide and conduct security screening at any airport that lost its commercial air service after January 1, 2013, provided the airport operator requests this service and provides proof that a commercial airline is committed to resuming service at the airport within one year. The TSA is required to complete the setup of this security screening within 90 days of the airport operator's request or by the date the airline plans to restart service, whichever is later, aiming to support smaller airports that have experienced a loss of air travel.
