TWIC Reader Implementation Delayed

On August 2, President Trump signed the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) Accountability Act of 2018 into law. The TWIC Accountability Act prohibits the Coast Guard from implementing the TWIC “reader rule”, which would require high-risk ports to install biometric readers for employees with Transportation Worker Identification Credentials. Currently, the implementation of the rule will remain delayed until after the Department of Homeland Security has submitted an assessment of the TWIC program to Congress confirming the effectiveness of the credentialing requirements for enhancing security.
