Key Points

This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to link NEXUS applications for family members living in the same house. This includes parents, children, grandparents, and siblings.
Families would be able to schedule their required interviews at the same time. The agency could also choose to interview the whole family together instead of one by one.
Children under 14 years old might not have to do an interview at all if they are linked to an eligible family member's application.
The goal is to make the NEXUS process faster and easier for families who travel between the U.S. and Canada.
If passed, the agency would have 180 days to set up this new system for linking family applications.
