WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed Congressman Carlos A. Gimenez's bipartisan H.R. 9388, the One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act.

The legislation extends and expands the federal One-Stop Pilot Program, allowing eligible international passengers and their checked baggage to connect to domestic flights without undergoing a second TSA screening, provided they have already been screened at trusted foreign airports that meet the United States' rigorous security standards. The bill maintains strict security requirements while reducing delays, easing congestion, and improving the travel experience for international passengers.

Congressman Carlos A. Gimenez said, “South Florida is one of the busiest international gateways in the United States, and we must keep passengers and airports moving efficiently while maintaining the highest security standards. I am proud that the House passed the bipartisan One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act, a common-sense bill that will reduce delays, ease congestion at our airports, and improve the travel experience for international passengers without compromising safety. This legislation strengthens our aviation system, supports our economy, and reinforces America's leadership in secure and efficient international travel.”
