Plain-English Summary
The TSA would create new guidelines to help people with criminal records rejoin the transportation workforce by making it easier for them to apply for security credentials needed for jobs at airports, ports, and other transportation facilities. The bill would also require the TSA to assist incarcerated people in preparing applications while still in prison and to help those denied credentials appeal their rejections or request waivers. This would give formerly incarcerated individuals a clearer path to employment in transportation-related jobs after their release.
