Summary

By the Congressional Research Service (Introduced in House, Jun 22, 2026). Public domain.

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.
