HR 8370 United States House · 118th Congress

Rights for the TSA Workforce Act of 2024

The Rights for the TSA Workforce Act of 2024 would transition Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees, particularly screening agents, from TSA-specific personnel rules to the standard federal government personnel system under Title 5 of the U.S. Code by December 31, 2024. The bill prohibits changes to current personnel policies for covered employees until the transition date and ensures no reduction in pay or benefits during the conversion process. It preserves certain benefits like law enforcement availability pay for Federal air marshals and maintains collective bargaining rights for screening agents. The bill also requires various reports to Congress on recruitment, implementation, diversity, and workplace safety to be submitted within specified timeframes.
