To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program of the Department of Homeland Security, to provide to individuals whose enrollment in a Trusted Traveler program is denied, suspended, or early terminated an option to appeal such denial, suspension, or early termination, as the case may be, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to offer an appeal process to individuals whose Trusted Traveler program enrollment is denied, suspended, or terminated early. It affects participants in programs like Global Entry, PreCheck, NEXUS, and SENTRI by mandating that they receive written explanations for adverse decisions along with information about appeal options, reapplication procedures, and relevant timelines. The legislation also requires the agency to publish appeal process details online and provide status updates to applicants at least every 30 days while their appeals are pending.
