To require the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to link together applications of family members throughout the NEXUS application process, and for other purposes.
Introduced Jun 22, 2026 by Rep. Timothy M. Kennedy
The House passed it. The Senate has to pass it before it can reach the President.
This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to link the applications of family members (parents, legal guardians, children, grandparents, grandchildren, and siblings residing within a single household) throughout the NEXUS application process (an expedited border inspections program between the United-States and Canada).
CBP must permit a family member to schedule NEXUS interviews for all linked family members and may provide linked family members the option to participate in joint interviews.
CBP may exempt from the interview process a child under 14 years of age who is linked to an eligible family member.
