Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the government to establish a process for people to challenge their placement on terrorist watchlists and seek removal if they believe they were wrongly added. The legislation aims to give individuals a fair way to dispute being on these lists, which can affect their ability to travel, work, and access certain services, while still allowing law enforcement to maintain security screening tools.
