To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program of the Department of Homeland Security, to provide to individuals whose enrollment in a Trusted Traveler program is denied, suspended, or early terminated an option to appeal such denial, suspension, or early termination, as the case may be, and for other purposes.

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security, through its Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP), to give people an option to appeal when their enrollment in a Trusted Traveler program is denied, suspended, or ended early. The department must tell each affected person in writing the reason for the decision, their appeal options, and any options to reapply, including dates and time frames. Within 90 days of the law taking effect, the department must post this appeal and reapplication information on its website, along with a phone number people can call about their appeal. People with a pending appeal must receive a written status update at least every 30 days. The programs covered are PreCheck, Global Entry, SENTRI, FAST, NEXUS, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Travel Card.
