This bill ensures that essential Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel continue to receive pay and benefits during a lapse in appropriations. It specifically appropriates necessary funds from the Treasury for standard rates of pay, allowances, and benefits for TSA employees if interim or full-year appropriations for fiscal year 2026 are not in effect starting February 14, 2026. The funds are limited to employees directly affected by the lapse and are subject to existing requirements and limitations for TSA payments. Expenditures made under this act will be charged against future applicable appropriations once enacted. This measure takes effect retroactively on February 13, 2026, and its provisions terminate upon the enactment of a regular or continuing appropriation for the specified purposes, or by September 30, 2026, whichever occurs first.
