Clear, a service that allows travelers to skip security lines at airports for a fee of $189, is facing potential changes in California. Some lawmakers in the state are concerned that Clear creates a divide between those who can afford the service and those who cannot.
The bill, which has passed the Senate Transportation Committee with an 8-4 vote, aims to place a moratorium on Clear's expansion at state airports. To become law, the bill must be approved by the full California Senate, Assembly, and signed by Governor Gavin Newsom.
