The TRAFFIC Act of 2025 permanently bars individuals convicted of human trafficking from obtaining or holding transportation-related licenses and certifications. The bill applies to merchant mariner licenses, locomotive operator licenses, train conductor certifications, commercial driver's licenses, pilot certificates, and any other transportation authorization issued by the Department of Transportation or Department of Homeland Security. The disqualification applies to anyone convicted of federal human trafficking offenses under federal law or substantially similar state, local, or tribal offenses. The legislation amends existing federal transportation law but does not specify new funding or implementation timelines, leaving enforcement to the relevant federal agencies.
