One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act
To amend title 49, United States Code, to authorize an extension of a program to permit screened passengers and their property arriving on direct flights or flight segments originating at certain foreign last point of departure airports to continue on additional flights or flight segments originating in the United States without additional screening, and for other purposes.
HB9388, also known as the One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act, aims to extend a program that allows passengers who have already been screened at certain foreign airports to continue their journey on additional flights within the United States without undergoing another screening process. This bill targets the streamlined travel experience for passengers on direct flights or segments that originate in the U.S. after passing through specific international checkpoints.
This legislation would primarily impact travelers who frequently fly on connecting flights within the U.S., as well as the airlines and airport authorities that manage the screening processes. By reducing the need for additional screenings, the bill could potentially speed up the travel process and enhance efficiency at U.S. airports.
As of the latest update, HB9388 has been introduced in the House and has already passed through committee consideration. The bill was reported favorably by the House Committee on Homeland Security and is currently on the Union Calendar, awaiting further action. The House has already debated and agreed to pass the bill, signaling strong support for the proposed extension of the One-Stop Pilot Program.
