This bill, called the VALID Act, prohibits airlines from transporting passengers using certain forms of immigration-related identification documents. Specifically, it bans air carriers from operating flights to or landing at U.S. airports if they transport any individual using the CBP One Mobile Application, DHS Form I-385 (Notice to Report), or DHS Form I-862 (Notice to Appear) as identification. The legislation also prevents the Department of Homeland Security from accepting these same documents as valid identification for domestic commercial airline passengers. The bill applies to both U.S. air carriers and foreign airlines, and it creates a permanent operational ban for any carrier that violates these restrictions. There is no specific funding amount or implementation timeline mentioned in the legislation.
