This legislative proposal mandates that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) conduct annual assessments of the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) passenger security screening practices. The primary objective of these assessments is to determine the extent to which TSA's current screening procedures comply with its established non-discrimination policies . By evaluating these practices, the GAO aims to identify any areas where compliance is lacking and recommend specific actions to improve adherence. The Comptroller General of the United States is required to submit these comprehensive assessments to both the House Committee on Homeland Security and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The first report is due within 90 days of the Act's enactment, with subsequent reports submitted annually thereafter, ensuring ongoing oversight.
