Border tech plan due in 180 days
DHS, through CBP and the Science and Technology office, would owe Congress a border technology plan within 180 days. The plan would list goals, timelines, and projected costs for each program. It would explain how pilots would move into regular programs and how Innovation Teams would be used. It would assess privacy and security effects on border communities. It would review buying authorities, name legacy systems to phase out with cost estimates, and show how small and disadvantaged businesses could join.
New teams to test border tech
If enacted, CBP would be allowed to set up Innovation Teams to test new commercial border technologies. Teams would have to write operating rules with roles inside DHS and with outside partners. They would set plans with costs and timelines. They would track how fast pilots become regular programs. CBP would have to send Congress a report within 180 days and every year after. Each report would list pilots from the last fiscal year, the ones that worked, the gaps they addressed, and next steps to adopt them.
