H.R. 720 was introduced in response to the November 1, 2013, shooting incident at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which took the life of Gerardo Hernandez, a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer who was killed in the line of duty. The House approved the bill today by voice vote following the Senate's passage of the bill, and thus cleared the bill for the President's signature.
