Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Biometric checks for travelers and immigrants
If enacted, DHS would keep broad authority to collect biometrics beyond the integrated entry/exit System. The bill would require DHS to make biometric checks cause as little delay as possible for travel and cargo. It would preserve DHS's authority to collect user fees allowed by 19 U.S.C. 58c. These rules would aim to reduce delays but would also keep privacy and fee risks for travelers and importers.
