Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act
This bill requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to create and update guidance within 90 days (and every five years) to ensure hygienic handling of breast milk, baby formula, infant water, juice, and cooling accessories during airport security screening. The guidance must be developed with maternal health organizations and set standards to minimize contamination risks when these items undergo re-screening or additional testing. It also mandates a one-year audit by the DHS Inspector General to assess TSA compliance and evaluate how screening technologies impact the processing of these infant items. The bill directly affects traveling parents and caregivers who transport these essential supplies.
