Scott filed a Senate bill to let federal officials consult child-exploitation reports when screening visa applicants and travelers.

Sen. Rick Scott and Rep. Carlos Giménez filed companion SCREEN Act bills to let State and Homeland Security officials use child-exploitation reports in visa screening.
