Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security to modify its Global Entry program rules to allow children under age 11 to use the expedited airport screening lanes if they are traveling with a parent or legal guardian who is already enrolled in Global Entry. The legislation also permits Global Entry applicants to schedule a single appointment for their enrollment interview that covers both themselves and up to four of their children seeking enrollment, rather than requiring separate appointments for each family member. The bill affects families using U.S. international airports and aims to streamline the enrollment and travel process for families with young children. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation. The bill was introduced in December 2024 and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
