This bill establishes new regulations regarding agreements between public airports and private third-party vendors that provide expedited security screening services. Specifically, it prohibits public airports that offer commercial services from entering into agreements that allow these vendors to use standard security lanes or Transportation Security Administration (TSA) PreCheck lanes. However, this prohibition does not apply to agreements made before January 1, 2025, nor does it affect vendors that have secured dedicated TSA security lanes for their exclusive use at the airport. Additionally, the bill clarifies that airlines certified under 14 C.F.R., Part 121 are not considered private third-party vendors, and services provided by airlines for their passengers, such as priority lanes, are exempt from these regulations.
The bill will be codified as Section 8 of Title 3 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
