Hudson’s Bipartisan TSA Reform Bill Passes U.S. House of Representatives
Hudson’s Second Bill to Pass the House in His First Year

WASHINGTON-Today the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2719, the Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act, a bill authored by U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08).

“As Chairman of the Transportation Security Subcommittee, my goal is to hold TSA accountable while ensuring the safety of the American people and responsible stewardship of our tax dollars,” said Rep. Hudson. “The bipartisan passage of today’s bill demonstrates that Democrats and Republicans can work together for the common good, despite an unprecedented level of partisan gridlock in Washington.”

The Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act introduces greater transparency and accountability for TSA spending decisions through a series of commonsense reforms.  Specifically, it requires TSA to:

  • Develop and share with the public, for the first time, a strategic, multiyear technology investment plan,
  • Share key information with Congress on technology acquisitions, including cost overruns, delays, or technical failures within 30 days of identifying the problem,
  • Establish principles for managing equipment in inventory to eliminate expensive storage of unusable or outdated technologies, and
  • Report on its goals for contracting with small businesses.

 

*This is Rep. Hudson’s second bipartisan bill to pass the U.S. House during his first year in Congress.
