Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 9 wordsI yield myself such time as I may consume.Procedure Mr. Speaker, Claims · 118 wordsI rise in support of H.R. 9391, the Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026. First established in 2019, the Reimbursable Screening Services Program is a pilot program that allows screening services to be conducted outside the primary passenger terminal screening area.¹ This pilot program has helped provide TSA with reliable streams of revenue while at the same time maintaining a safe and efficient screening environment. This bill extends the Reimbursable Screening Services Program through fiscal year 2031 and increases the number of allowable participating entities from 8 to 14.² The Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act provides increased certainty for this pilot program to ensure it can continue to develop while Congress assesses its long-term viability. Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 14 wordsI thank the gentlewoman from New Jersey, Representative Pou, for cosponsoring this important legislation.Thanks The ask · 16 wordsI urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
