Yesterday, the House Homeland Security Committee reported HR 5109, a bill requiring TSA to “develop guidelines to improve returning [from incarceration] citizens’ access to the TWIC program.” A copy of the report is not currently available. The Committee held a business meeting on June 24th, 2026, that included consideration of the bill. The bill was approved by a vote of 30 to 0.
The House is scheduled to consider the bill today under the suspension of the rules process. That process provides for limited floor debate; no amendments may be considered; and passage requires a super majority.

Just my two cents but I think most facilities would prefer that the just-released establish a pattern of good behavior and compliance with legal norms before coming to work in a place whose risk posture requires a TWIC. Make HR 5109 make sense, please.
