Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Funding for Aviation Screeners and Threat Elimination Restoration Act or the FASTER Act

This bill repeals the requirement that a portion of aviation security service fees collected from passengers be credited as offsetting receipts and deposited in the general fund of the Treasury. It requires such fees to be deposited into a separate account in the Treasury for expenditure to pay only the costs of activities and services for which the fee is imposed (i.e., aviation security screening).
