Law

This bill directs the Department of Commerce and the State Department to work more closely with authorities in Taiwan to increase travel between the two places. The goal is to help tourism businesses like hotels, restaurants, and airlines in both the U.S. and Taiwan grow by making it easier for people to visit.
The government would look for ways to protect cultural landmarks and improve safety for international travelers. While working together, officials must take steps to protect American business secrets, intellectual property, and sensitive information.
A major part of the plan involves studying the possibility of setting up 'preclearance' centers in Taiwan. These are special areas at foreign airports where travelers can go through U.S. customs and security before they even board their flight, which makes arriving in the United States much faster and easier.
The Department of Homeland Security would have about six months to report to Congress on how these preclearance centers would affect trade, airport staffing, and national security. They will also look at how these centers might help the U.S. economy and improve relations with the people of Taiwan.
