Unlikely to pass

While there is often support for TSA workers, bills that only raise pay for one specific agency usually struggle to pass unless they are part of a much larger government spending deal.

Key Points

This bill would give a 15 percent pay raise to most workers at the Transportation Security Administration. It focuses on career agents and officers who work at airports and other transit hubs.
The plan also raises the pay limits for the entire TSA compensation system by 15 percent. This ensures that the new higher salaries fit within the agency's official pay structure.
High level executives and senior leaders would not get this raise. The goal is to help the frontline workers who handle security screenings and daily operations.
If passed, the pay increase would start almost immediately. Workers would see the extra money in their checks during the first full pay period after the bill becomes law.
