CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill
No. 1372
Introduced by Senator Newman

February 16, 2024 |
An act to add Section 21665 to the Public Utilities Code, relating to aviation.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1372, as amended, Newman.
Airports: third-party vendors: security lanes.
Existing law, the State Aeronautics Act, governs various matters relative to aviation in the state, and authorizes the Department of Transportation to adopt, administer, and enforce rules and regulations for the administration of the act. A violation of the State Aeronautics Act is a crime.
This bill would prohibit a public airport that provides commercial services from entering into an agreement that authorizes a private third-party vendor that provides expedited security screening to use the standard security lane or the Transportation Security Administration PreCheck security lane. The bill would provide that this prohibition does not apply if there was an agreement between the public airport and the private third-party vendor that was entered into before January 1, 2025. The bill would also provide that the prohibition does not apply to an
agreement between a public airport and a private third-party vendor if the private third-party vendor has obtained dedicated Transportation Security Administration security lanes solely for use by the private third-party vendor at that public airport.
Because a violation of these provisions would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Bill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
Section 21665 is added to the Public Utilities Code, to read:21665.
(a) (1) A public airport that provides commercial services shall not enter into an agreement that authorizes a private third-party vendor that provides expedited security screening to use the standard security lane or the Transportation Security Administration PreCheck security
lane.(2) This subdivision does not apply if there was an agreement between the public airport and the private third-party vendor that was entered into before January 1, 2025.
(b) This section does not apply to an agreement between a public airport and a private third-party vendor if the private third-party vendor has obtained dedicated Transportation Security Administration security lanes solely for use by the private
third-party vendor at that public airport.
(c) For purposes of this section, an airline, as certified under Part 121 (commencing with Section 121.1) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, is not a private third-party vendor. This section does not apply to any services, including priority lanes or lines, offered by an airline solely for use by the airline’s passengers, without a separate charge to a passenger by a private third-party vendor.
SEC. 2.
No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
