AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to create guidelines for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program within 1 year of the law taking effect. TWIC is a federal ID card that some transportation workers need. The guidelines would cover improving access to the program for people released from incarceration, helping people who are incarcerated pre-apply or prepare applications, and helping people appeal or seek a waiver after an initial finding that they are not eligible. TSA would then have 180 days after creating the guidelines to brief two congressional committees on how the law is being carried out.
