S 455 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Travel Freedom Act

This bill ends the federal requirement for foreign travelers to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination when flying to the U.S. or entering through land borders with Canada. It specifically repeals CDC and DHS orders that mandated vaccination proof for air travelers and land border crossings (including ferries). The bill prohibits federal funding for enforcing these requirements and states they "shall have no force or effect" upon enactment. It directly affects international travelers entering the U.S. by air or land, removing a specific health-related travel barrier.
