Bill overview
This bill aims to restore pre-pandemic operating hours at U.S. ports of entry along the northern border with Canada. Currently, these ports have reduced their hours due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill directs the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection to ensure that these ports reopen and maintain at least the same operating hours they had before the pandemic began. This would help facilitate trade and travel between the United States and Canada.
