Bill > HR6461

This bill establishes a National Deployment Office within the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to maintain a National Deployment Force. The force is comprised of transportation security officers who can be rapidly deployed to provide additional security at airports, for special events, in the aftermath of disasters, and other situations as determined by the TSA Administrator. The bill requires the TSA to educate officers on the deployment force, recruit and train officers to serve on it, and approve one-year appointments for officers to participate. It also allows the TSA to consider service on the deployment force as a positive factor in evaluating employees for promotions. Finally, the bill requires the TSA to submit annual reports to Congress for five years on the activities and operations of the National Deployment Office and Force.
