HR 5732 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To provide for funding for all Transportation Security Administration activities for a certain period in the event of a Government shutdown, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill ensures the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) continues operating during a government shutdown or lapse in appropriations. During a lapse, the TSA Administrator would continue all programs and activities using unobligated balances from prior appropriations, funding operations at the rate provided in the previous fiscal year. The emergency funding would remain available until the regular appropriation bill for the current fiscal year becomes law, a continuing resolution is enacted, or 180 days pass, whichever occurs first. The bill uses unobligated balances from prior appropriations to provide the necessary funding without requiring new congressional appropriations. The intent is to maintain airport security screening and other TSA functions without interruption during federal funding gaps.
