AI Summary
This bill, the DHS Illicit Cross-Border Tunnel Defense Act, aims to support the remediation of illicit cross-border tunnels used for illegal activities. The key provisions of the bill require the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, in coordination with other Department of Homeland Security officials, to develop a strategic plan to address the identification, breach, assessment, and remediation of these tunnels. The plan will include risk-based prioritization criteria, the use of innovative technologies, information sharing processes, and an assessment of resource needs. The bill also authorizes $1 million in funding for each of fiscal years 2023 and 2024 to develop the strategic plan and conduct remediation operations.
