TSA would create rules to help people with past convictions get transportation worker IDs.
This bill would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to develop new guidelines. These guidelines would make it easier for people released from prison and those currently incarcerated to apply for or appeal decisions about Transportation Worker Identification Credentials (TWIC). This aims to improve access to the TWIC program for these groups.
Today, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) manages the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program without specific, mandated guidelines to help people with past convictions or those currently in prison apply or appeal. If this bill passes, the TSA would be required to develop these specific guidelines within one year, making the TWIC application and appeal process more accessible for these groups.
