TRAFFIC Act of 2025

This bill would bar people convicted of federal human trafficking crimes, or similar federal, state, local, or Tribal crimes, from getting certain transportation licenses. It covers merchant mariner licenses and documents, locomotive engineer licenses, train conductor certifications, and pilot (airman) certificates. It would change the commercial driver's license rule so that a lifetime disqualification applies to anyone convicted of a trafficking offense, not only those who used a commercial vehicle in the crime. It also directs the Departments of Transportation and Homeland Security to disqualify such individuals from receiving or holding any other license or authorization they issue for operating a vehicle, aircraft, vessel, or other form of transportation.
