TSA could keep operating during a shutdown instead of slowing down or stopping. It would use certain unused federal funds for up to 180 days, or until Congress passes new funding.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Keep Air Travel Safe Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security.
Latest action on H.R. 5732: Referred to the Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who depend on airport security staying open during a shutdown. Travelers, TSA workers, airports, and airlines would feel it most directly because TSA operations could keep going instead of falling into shutdown chaos.
Why this matters: This matters because a shutdown can disrupt airport security and travel. This bill tries to keep TSA operating so screening and related safety work do not stop right away. That could reduce short-term disruption for travelers and airports. But the bill only covers TSA, and it is not clear from the text what repeated use of these unused funds would mean for future budgets.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
