Honoring Our Fallen TSA Officers Act

This bill amends federal law to include Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers who die while performing official duties protecting transportation systems as eligible for public safety officers' death benefits. It specifically adds TSA employees working to "ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce" to the list of covered personnel under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act. The change applies to deaths occurring on or after October 31, 2013, directly affecting TSA officers and their families by expanding access to death benefits previously available only to other public safety personnel.
