S-3296 : Still Just a Bill

TSA Reaching Across Nationalities, Societies, and Languages to Advance Traveler Education Act or the TRANSLATE Act

This bill directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop a plan to ensure that TSA material disseminated in major airports is better understood by people accessing such airports, including by foreign language speakers and people with vision or hearing impairments.

In developing a plan, the TSA must take into consideration data regarding international enplanement and local populations surrounding major airports.

The Government Accountability Office must also review the implementation of the plan.
