This bill mandates that the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection link together applications of family members within the NEXUS program within 180 days of enactment. The legislation aims to streamline the application process for families by requiring that one individual family member be permitted to schedule interviews for all linked family members. Furthermore, the Commissioner may offer families the option to conduct joint interviews , enhancing convenience. A significant provision allows for the exemption from an interview for a child under 14 years of age, provided they are linked to the application of an eligible family member. For the purposes of this act, "family members" include parents, legal guardians, children, grandparents, grandchildren, and siblings residing within a single household.
