Latest Action · March 5, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Homeland Security, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 7823 requires the Department of Homeland Security to give travelers an appeal option if they are denied entry into, or have their enrollment suspended or terminated from, any Trusted Traveler program—including PreCheck, Global Entry, SENTRI, FAST, NEXUS, and the APEC Business Travel Card. When taking these actions, DHS must provide written notice explaining the reason for the decision, describing the appeal process with relevant deadlines, and outlining options to reapply. Within 90 days of enactment, DHS must publish information about the appeal process and a dedicated phone number on its website where individuals can check the status of their appeals. Additionally, the agency must provide written status updates at least every 30 days while an appeal is pending. The bill has no specified funding amount or implementation timeline beyond the 90-day requirement to make information publicly available.
