Raises pay for many TSA airport security officers and agents by 15 percent.

This bill would give many Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport security officers and agents a 15 percent raise in their basic pay. If signed into law, this pay increase would take effect quickly, within the first pay period after the bill becomes law.

What Would Change

Today, many career employees of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) receive pay based on current compensation rules. If this bill becomes law, their annual basic pay, and the pay rates for all TSA pay bands, would increase by 15 percent, taking effect very soon after the bill is signed.
