Summary

TSA PreCheck Expansion Act This bill directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to: establish PreCheck application enrollment standards to add multiple private sector application capabilities for the TSA PreCheck program to increase the public's enrollment access to such program; coordinate with interested parties to deploy TSA-approved ready-to-market private sector solutions that meet such standards, make available additional PreCheck enrollment capabilities, and offer secure online and mobile enrollment opportunities; partner with the private sector to collect biographic and biometric identification information via secure mobile enrollment platforms to reduce the need to travel to enrollment centers; and ensure that any biometric and biographic information is collected in a manner which ensures privacy and data security protections. The TSA must: develop and implement a process for approving private sector marketing of the program and a strategy for partnering with the private sector to encourage enrollment; report on any PreCheck fees collected in excess of the costs of administering such program; coordinate with the heads of appropriate Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components to leverage DHS-held data and technologies to verify the citizenship of individuals who want to enroll; partner with the private sector to use advanced biometrics and NIST 800-63-2 identity proofing standards to facilitate enrollment; ensure that TSA PreCheck screening lanes are available during peak and high-volume travel times at airports to enrolled individuals; provide for expedited screening at standard screening lanes during times when PreCheck screening lanes are closed; and ensure that enrolled individuals are vetted through the TSA's terrorist screening databases and develop effective recurrent vetting capabilities for disqualifying criminal offenses.
