## Summary

**This bill would create a federal reimbursement program to repay states for non‑federally funded border security costs.** It targets states that spent more than $2.5 billion on border security in the 10 years before enactment and requires an accounting before payment. - States and municipalities: Eligible states that meet the $2.5 billion threshold would submit an accounting of non‑federal border security expenses and could receive full reimbursement for those qualifying costs. - Timelines for action: Governors must file an accounting within 180 days of enactment and the federal government must reimburse the claimed amounts within 1 year after submission. - Taxpayers and budgets: The bill shifts responsibility for past state border security spending to the federal government by creating a federal repayment obligation for qualifying expenses. - Implementation uncertainty: The bill does not define which activities or cost categories qualify as "border security and enforcement in support of Federal efforts," leaving eligibility details to later implementation.
