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.
This bill, known as HB9382, aims to make it easier for family members to apply for NEXUS together. NEXUS is a program that allows pre-approved travelers to move quickly through customs and border protection when entering the U.S. Currently, family members must apply separately, which can be a hassle. This bill would require the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to ensure that family members can link their applications throughout the NEXUS process, making it more efficient for them.
This change would mainly affect families traveling together frequently, especially those who cross the border regularly for business or personal reasons. By streamlining the application process, it could save time and reduce administrative burdens for these families.
As of June 24, 2026, the bill has passed a key milestone by being reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security. It has now been placed on the Union Calendar, which means it is ready for further consideration by the full House. The bill was introduced on June 22, 2026, and has received bipartisan support from both Republican and Democratic sponsors.
