Bill overview
This bill, the PEARL Act, aims to improve the well-being of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers by establishing a pilot program. The program will involve adopting dogs from local animal shelters and training them as ‘support dogs’ to provide emotional assistance, help mitigate trauma, and boost morale for CBP personnel. This initiative seeks to leverage the support of trained animals to address the challenging conditions faced by CBP officers.
