What the document says

“Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this section and every five years thereafter, if appropriate, the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration shall issue or update, as the case may be, guidance to minimize the risk for contamination”

To amend the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act to require hygienic handling of breast milk and baby formula by security screening personnel of the Transportation Security Administration and personnel of private security companies providing security screening, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

The opening of new section 3. The Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration has 90 days from enactment to issue the guidance, and returns to it every five years thereafter, if appropriate, to issue or update it. Four requirements are then placed on the guidance, and each is recorded separately below. The Act does not set out the content of the guidance itself.

What the document actually says

“Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this section and every five years thereafter, if appropriate, the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration shall issue or update, as the case may be, guidance to minimize the risk for contamination”

To amend the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act to require hygienic handling of breast milk and baby formula by security screening personnel of the Transportation Security Administration and personnel of private security companies providing security screening, and for other purposes, Sec. 2
That sentence, in plain words

The head of the TSA has to write guidance. It is due 90 days after this part starts. After that it comes up again every five years.

What this is about

Guidance is a set of written rules for staff. The goal is to keep germs off the milk. The law does not say what the rules must say word for word.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
