To authorize the Land Port of Entry Community Infrastructure Program to address deficiencies in community infrastructure supportive of land ports of entry, and for other purposes.
HR 6791 authorizes grants to help local governments, tribes, and utility groups fix infrastructure near U.S. land ports of entry, such as roads, water systems, or waste facilities within 25 miles of a port. It prioritizes projects improving border security (like drug seizure rates), trade efficiency, community resilience, and quality of life for border patrol families. Recipients must cover at least 30% of costs (lowered or waived for rural areas or security projects), with the government reimbursing up to 70% for eligible pre-2021 work. The bill focuses on tangible infrastructure upgrades directly tied to port operations, not broader policy changes.
