Bill overview
This bill, the Trade Facilitation and Security Enhancement Act, aims to improve the flow of goods and people across the U.S.-Mexico border. It directs the Department of Homeland Security to extend the hours of operation at the ten busiest ports of entry to at least 16 hours on weekdays and 8 hours on weekends. The bill also requires the department to allocate sufficient resources and coordinate with Mexican officials to ensure these extended hours are managed effectively. Finally, it mandates a study to identify improvements at these ports to enhance trade efficiency.
