SB 6298 - DIGEST

     Finds that the 2001 federal aviation and transportation security act addressed this problem for airport security screening contractors and personnel only, and does not sufficiently protect Washington state citizens and visitors.

     Declares an intent to mandate that port districts operating large airports have the responsibility and the statutory authority to enhance security through the enforcement and adoption of minimum standards of employment, and standards of business responsibility for lessees, tenants, and contractors.
