Honoring Our Fallen TSA Officers Act
This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to include Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees as eligible for public safety officers' death benefits. It specifically covers TSA officers who die while performing duties related to protecting transportation systems, ensuring their families receive financial support similar to other public safety officers. The key change adds a new definition (subparagraph H) to the existing law, expanding eligibility to TSA personnel who are actively safeguarding transportation infrastructure. This directly affects TSA employees and their dependents by granting access to these death benefits for on-duty fatalities. The amendment applies to incidents occurring on or after October 31, 2013.
