                                 AN ACT

 
 To reduce commuting burdens on Transportation Security Administration 
                   employees, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``TSA Commuting Fairness Act''.

SEC. 2. FEASIBILITY STUDY ON TSA COMMUTING BENEFITS.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 270 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Transportation Security 
Administration shall submit to the Committee on Homeland Security of 
the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, 
and Transportation and the Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs of the Senate a study on the feasibility of 
treating as on-duty hours the time Transportation Security 
Administration employees working at airport locations spend traveling 
between regular duty locations and airport parking lots and bus and 
transit stops.
    (b) Considerations.--In conducting the feasibility study required 
under subsection (a), the Administrator of the Transportation Security 
Administration shall consider the following with respect to 
Transportation Security Administration employees:
            (1) The amount of time needed by such employees to travel 
        between regular duty locations and airport parking lots and bus 
        and transit stops at small hub airports, medium hub airports, 
        and large hub airports (as such terms are defined in section 
        40102 of title 49, United States Code).
            (2) The amount of time such employees spend commuting, on 
        average, exclusive of the time described in paragraph (1).
            (3) The potential benefits to such employees and the 
        Administration of treating as on-duty hours the time described 
        in such paragraph.
            (4) The feasibility of using mobile phones, location data, 
        and any other means to allow such employees to report their 
        arrival to and departure from the airport parking lots and bus 
        and transit stops concerned.
            (5) The estimated costs of treating as on-duty hours the 
        time described in such paragraph, including by considering such 
        hours creditable as basic pay for retirement purposes.
            (6) Other considerations determined appropriate by the 
        Administrator.

            Passed the House of Representatives December 20, 2024.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
