## Summary

**Keeps Transportation Security Administration programs funded during an appropriations lapse.** This bill would let the TSA Administrator keep TSA programs, projects, and activities running by drawing on specified prior‑year unobligated balances and by using prior‑year funding rates for up to 180 days or until new appropriations are enacted. - Travelers: Airport screening and other TSA services would be less likely to stop during a government funding gap, reducing the risk of immediate service disruptions. - TSA workforce and contractors: TSA employees and contract staff could continue performing duties and receive pay from those prior‑year balances during the lapse, limiting short‑term workforce interruptions. - Funding rules and limits: Continued operations must not exceed the previous fiscal year’s rate and would use unobligated balances identified in section 90003 of Public Law 119‑21. The authority ends when a regular appropriation or a continuing resolution becomes law or 180 days pass.
