HR 8701 United States House · 119th Congress

Transportation Security Administration Transfer Act of 2026

This bill moves the Transportation Security Administration from the Department of Homeland Security to the Department of Transportation, placing its leadership directly under the Secretary of Transportation. The law ensures that all existing rules, contracts, licenses, and legal cases involving the TSA continue without interruption and that the agency retains its current funding and personnel. It also updates federal statutes to reflect the new organizational structure while allowing the head of the new department to delegate specific duties as needed.
