This bill aims to ensure that all revenues collected from passengers as aviation security fees are used exclusively to finance the costs of aviation security screening. Currently, a portion of these fees is diverted from its intended purpose by being credited as offsetting receipts and deposited into the general fund of the Treasury. The legislation achieves this by amending title 49, United States Code, specifically repealing the requirement for this diversion. It mandates that all collected fees be deposited into a separate account in the Treasury , which will be available solely to the Administrator for expenditures related to aviation security activities and services . This change ensures that funds collected for security are fully dedicated to that purpose, preventing their use for other government functions.
