WASHINGTON -- The House voted Wednesday to cap a Transportation Security Administration fee on airline tickets to prevent the agency from collecting an estimated $60 million per year more than lawmakers intended.
The Senate must still consider the bill. But the House goal, approved on a 423-0 vote, is to cap the fee at $5.60 per flight and $11.20 per connecting flight. The previous fee had been $2.50 per flight capped at $5 for connecting flights.
Congress ordered the new fee to reduce the deficit $12.6 billion over the next decade.
