Permanently disqualify individuals convicted of human trafficking from certain transportation licenses.

The TRAFFIC Act of 2025 amends titles 46 and 49 of the United States Code to permanently disqualify individuals convicted of human trafficking from obtaining certain licenses issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation. This includes licenses related to merchant seamen, pilots, commercial drivers, locomotive operators, and train conductors. The bill ensures that those convicted of human trafficking offenses or substantially similar offenses under federal, state, local, or tribal law are ineligible for these transportation-related licenses.
