What this bill would do
The Trucking Security and CCP Disclosure Act of 2026 aims to secure the transport of Department of Defense (DoD) freight. It requires motor carriers, including subcontractors and owner-operators, to certify they have no significant business relationships with specific Chinese military companies. The bill also creates the Secure Defense Freight Carrier Registry to vet and approve carriers based on national security standards. Eventually, carriers must be on this registry to bid or perform DoD freight contracts.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Enhanced National Security: By screening carriers for ownership or control by Chinese military companies and foreign adversary entities, the bill seeks to secure the transport of defense freight (Sec. 2(b)(1) and Sec. 14003(a)(3)(A)).
- Personnel Security: The bill requires verification that drivers and personnel with access to DoD freight meet security standards similar to Federal security programs (Sec. 14003(a)(3)(B)).
- Streamlined Process: The Secretary is required to create a streamlined application process for carriers to be included in the registry (Sec. 14003(b)(1)).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Strict Compliance Burdens: Prime contractors must ensure all subcontractors and owner-operators at all tiers provide certifications and maintain those records for at least 5 years (Sec. 2(a)(2) and Sec. 2(c)).
- Severe Penalties: Motor carriers who knowingly provide false certifications face civil penalties and potential suspension or debarment from DoD contracting (Sec. 2(d)).
- Loss of Business Opportunities: Motor carriers who are not included in the registry will be prohibited from bidding on or performing DoD freight transportation contracts, unless a waiver is granted for exigent circumstances (Sec. 14004(a) and (b)).
- Ongoing Vettting Requirements: Carriers must undergo periodic revetting at least once every 2 years to remain eligible (Sec. 14003(a)(4)).
