This bill directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to allow caregivers, parents, and guardians to accompany minors and passengers needing assistance to their flights.

Specifically, the TSA must establish a system to expedite gate passes and flight access procedures for these individuals.

The system must ensure that

  • air carriers may offer up to two gate passes to caregivers, parents, and guardians who are accompanying a minor or a passenger needing assistance to a departing flight; and
  • these individuals may apply their existing TSA PreCheck privileges to such gate passes.

The TSA PreCheck program expedites traveler screening through participating TSA security checkpoints.
