US Congressional Bill on Maintenance Procedures at Ports of Entry

Main Subject: Immigration

This bill directs U.S. Customs Border and Protection (CBP) to establish procedures for performing repairs and maintenance projects below a certain cost at certain federally owned ports of entry.

The procedures shall cover projects that cost no more than $300,000, with this cap to be adjusted annually for inflation.

CBP may perform such repair and maintenance projects in accordance with the procedures established under this bill.
