HR 9328 United States House · 119th Congress

Improving Travel for Military Members Act

The Improving Travel for Military Members Act directs the Transportation Security Administration to create a pilot program that allows active-duty military personnel and their families to use expedited security lanes at select airports. This initiative requires that all participants still undergo standard vetting checks and mandates that security staff verify eligibility before allowing access to these faster lanes. The program will prioritize airports located near military bases with large numbers of stationed troops and must operate for a period of three years. Additionally, the TSA Administrator is required to provide a briefing to Congress on the program's progress within nine months of its launch.

MINOR

The Engrossed version of HR 9328 makes the security requirements in subsection (b) conditional on the Administrator actually establishing the pilot program, aligning that language with the conditional phrasing already used in subsections (c), (d), and (e). It also fixes a redundancy where 'Secure Flight program' was repeated and adds the word 'title' for clarity in a cross-reference. These are clarifying and technical corrections rather than substantive policy shifts.

REQUIREMENT

Subsection (b) security requirements changed from mandatory ('In carrying out subsection (a), the Administrator shall carry out...') to conditional ('If the Administrator establishes the pilot program under subsection (a), the Administrator shall carry out...'), making them apply only if the pilot program is actually established.

TECHNICAL

Fixed a redundancy in subsection (b)(1) where 'Secure Flight program of the Transportation Security Administration's Secure Flight program' was corrected to 'Secure Flight program of the Transportation Security Administration.'

Added the word 'title' in subsection (b)(2), changing 'section 44901 of such' to 'section 44901 of such title' for proper cross-reference clarity.
