FASTER Act

The FASTER Act repeals a requirement that aviation security fees be deposited into a general Treasury account subject to standard spending rules. Instead, it creates a dedicated account for these fees, allowing Transportation Security Administration (TSA) funds to be spent immediately - without waiting for annual appropriations or being blocked by anti-deficiency laws - to cover security screening costs. This directly affects TSA operations by streamlining funding for screeners and security equipment. The bill makes no new policy changes but removes bureaucratic delays in using aviation security fees as intended.
