HR 9391 United States House · 119th Congress

Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026

The Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026 extends and expands a federal program that reimburses states for conducting aviation security background checks. The bill directly affects federal and state agencies responsible for vetting airline employees by allowing the program to operate through fiscal year 2031 instead of ending in 2026. Additionally, it increases the maximum number of reimbursable screening services that can be provided annually from eight to 14. This legislation aims to maintain and slightly increase the capacity for background investigations without changing the underlying requirements for who must be screened.

MINOR

The bill extends the reimbursable screening services program through fiscal year 2031 (up from 2026) and expands the number of eligible locations from 8 to 14. The changes between versions are primarily technical drafting corrections: fixing the strike language in subsection (a) to properly remove the full date range phrase, and adding a clarifying reference in subsection (b) that it applies to the section as already amended by subsection (a).

TECHNICAL

Subsection (a) now strikes 'for fiscal years 2019 through 2026' instead of just 'through fiscal year 2026,' ensuring the amendment cleanly replaces the full date range in the existing statute rather than leaving orphaned text.

Subsection (b) now includes the phrase 'as amended by subsection (a)' to clarify that the expansion of locations from 8 to 14 applies to the section after the extension amendment has been made.
