This bill aims to provide continuing appropriations for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) during any lapse in federal funding. Specifically, it ensures that TSA employees continue to receive their standard rates of pay, allowances, pay differentials, and benefits if interim or full-year appropriations for fiscal year 2026 are not in effect starting February 14, 2026. The legislation appropriates such sums as are necessary from the Treasury for this purpose, but these funds are limited to employees who would otherwise not be paid during the lapse. Any expenditures made under this Act will be charged against future applicable appropriations once they are enacted into law. The provisions for pay and benefits are subject to the same requirements and conditions as those established by the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025. This temporary funding mechanism will terminate upon the earliest of three conditions: the enactment of an appropriation for the same purpose, the enactment of a regular or continuing appropriations resolution without such an appropriation, or September 30, 2026. The Act is designed to take effect retroactively, as if it were enacted on February 13, 2026, ensuring seamless pay for essential security personnel.
