AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let the Secretary of Homeland Security award grants to State, Tribal, and local governments and not-for-profit, member-owned utilities for infrastructure that supports land ports of entry on U.S. borders. Eligible projects include transportation, water, wastewater, telecommunications, electric, and gas projects tied to modernizing a port or located within 25 miles of one. Recipients would generally have to pay at least 30 percent of project costs, though the Secretary could lower or waive this share for rural areas or for homeland security reasons. The Secretary could also reimburse up to 70 percent of costs for qualifying projects paid for on or after November 15, 2021. The bill authorizes such sums as may be necessary each year for the program.
