AI Summary
This bill, the Securing America's Ports of Entry Act of 2022, aims to increase the number of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers and support staff to enhance security at ports of entry. It requires the Commissioner of CBP to hire, train, and assign at least 600 new CBP officers above the attrition level each fiscal year until the total number of officers meets the requirements identified in the Workload Staffing Model. The bill also authorizes the hiring of support staff to perform non-law enforcement administrative functions. Additionally, the bill mandates reports on infrastructure improvements, equipment, and safety needs at ports of entry, as well as quarterly reports on temporary duty assignments of CBP officers and an annual report on staffing and workload.
