I will support bipartisan legislation to dedicate Passenger Security Fee funds to airport screening technology and aviation security.

The bipartisan Rosen-backed Spending Aviation Fees for Equipment, Guaranteeing Upgraded and Advanced Risk Detection and Safety (SAFEGUARDS) Act would rectify that by dedicating a significant portion of the funds to investing in airport screening technology to keep passengers safe.

Rosen backed and supported the SAFEGUARDS Act to dedicate aviation security fee revenue to airport screening technology and security purposes.

Current 49 U.S.C. 44940(c)(3) says that beginning October 1, 2027, passenger security fees shall be credited as offsetting collections to TSA aviation security appropriations; subsection (i) still specifies general-fund deposits for fiscal years including 2026 and 2027.

Current codified text shows the dedication remains in law but its operative crediting rule is prospective and coexists with scheduled general-fund deposits before full effect.
