Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act
This bill requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop and update guidance within 90 days (and every five years) to prevent contamination of breast milk, baby formula, and related cooling items during airport security screening. The guidance must be created with input from maternal health organizations and ensure hygienic handling during re-screening or additional testing. It also mandates a DHS Inspector General audit within one year to review compliance and assess how screening technologies affect these items' processing. The bill directly affects breastfeeding parents traveling with infants by standardizing secure handling of essential items.
