This bipartisan solution will require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to better accommodate parents traveling with breast milk, infant food and feeding equipment.\u201cToo many parents have dealt with the TSA\u2019s harassment-like treatment for carrying infant food and breast milk through airport security \u2013 even though this is allowed under TSA\u2019s own guidelines.  With the president signing my bill into law today, we will make it easier for families to travel with the supplies and food they need,\u201d said Jaime. \u201cThe BABES Act will ensure that TSA agents are trained to provide families traveling with breastmilk with reasonable, consistent treatment, and that the agency maintains this priority in the future for new hires and retraining activities.\u201d Click here to read more about Jaime\u2019s legislation to assist parents traveling with breastmilk and formula.\r\n    \r\n  \r\n  \r\n  \r\n    \r\n      f \r\n      t \r\n      #\r\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://herrerabeutler.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398821"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9556347504258156, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
