The Transportation Security Screening Modernization Act of 2024 is a plan to make it easier and cheaper for people to apply for special security checks when they need to work in sensitive places, like near airplanes or with dangerous materials. It also wants to make sure that applying for these checks isn't a hassle and doesn't cost too much.

The bill wants to make it easier and quicker for people to get special badges they need to work safely with transportation, like ships and trucks carrying dangerous things. It asks the people in charge to find ways to make the process faster and cheaper without forgetting about safety rules.
