Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (specifically U.S. Customs and Border Protection) to create a detailed plan within 180 days for identifying, testing, and deploying new border security technologies. The plan must cover how CBP will use its Innovation Teams to adapt commercial technologies, assess privacy and civil rights impacts, replace outdated systems, and coordinate with DHS science teams and private sector partners. It mandates annual reports on the Innovation Teams' activities, including successful pilot technologies and efforts to transition them into permanent programs. The bill directly affects CBP operations and DHS technology procurement processes, focusing on safe, secure, and privacy-conscious border security solutions without specifying particular technologies.
