The bill requires TSA to create official guidance, within 90 days of passage, on hygienically handling breast milk, baby formula, purified water for infants, juice, and related ice packs or cooling accessories during airport security screening. The guidance must be developed with input from maternal health organizations, apply to both TSA employees and private screening contractors, and be reviewed every five years. It also requires a DHS Inspector General report within one year assessing compliance and the effects of scanning technology on these items.
This affects parents and caregivers traveling by air with infants, along with TSA staff and private airport security screeners.
The requirement creates new compliance obligations for TSA and security contractors and establishes an oversight mechanism through mandatory reporting to Congress.
