Emerging Digital Identity Ecosystem Report Act of 2025

This bill tells the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to write a report about “digital identity ecosystems”—in simple terms, the systems and tools used to prove who you are in digital form, especially in transportation. The report must explain how these systems are used today, their benefits and risks, and how they could better protect homeland security and help the United States stay competitive. The report should include viewpoints from private companies and from State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments. It is due within 180 days after the bill becomes law. A summary notes the focus is on the value of these systems in the transportation sector and their homeland security impact.
