US HB2086

TSA employees would transition from the agency's unique personnel management system to the standard federal civil service system under Title 5 of the U.S. Code by December 31, 2025, granting them full federal employee protections including collective bargaining rights under chapters 71 and 77

Converted employees are guaranteed no reduction in pay or benefits, with service time under TSA pay bands credited as equivalent General Schedule service for determining appropriate pay grades and steps

Federal air marshals would receive law enforcement availability pay and overtime protections, with premium pay continuing to be creditable for retirement benefits

The Office of Personnel Management must establish position classifications for Transportation Security Officers, Federal air marshals, and Transportation Security Inspectors within 180 days of enactment

The Government Accountability Office is required to conduct reviews and report to Congress on TSA recruitment efforts, implementation of the conversion, promotion policies and leadership diversity, and workplace harassment protections
