Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act › Section 2 › Proposal

The guidance ensures adherence to hygienic standards set by the Administrator

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, section 2, Sec. 2. Written by .

The guidance ensures adherence to hygienic standards set by the Administrator

The document says “shall”Who acts: Administrator of the Transportation Security AdministrationHow: guidanceSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says

“ensure adherence to hygienic standards, as established by the Administrator, in consultation with nationally recognized maternal health organizations;”

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 second requirement. The guidance is to ensure adherence to hygienic standards. The standards are not set out in this Act: they are established by the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, again in consultation with nationally recognized maternal health organizations.

What the document actually says

“ensure adherence to hygienic standards, as established by the Administrator, in consultation with nationally recognized maternal health organizations;”

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 guidance has to make staff follow clean handling rules. The head of the TSA sets those rules. Again, groups that work on the health of mothers help.

What this is about

The law does not spell the clean handling rules out. It leaves them to the head of the TSA. So a reader will not find them here.

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.
