Bill > S1498

This bill, called the "Finish It Act", requires the Secretary of Defense to use, transfer, or donate all excess construction materials intended for the wall on the southwest border of the United States that are being stored by the Department of Defense. The bill expresses the sense of Congress that constructing physical barriers along the southwest border has been an element of broader efforts to secure the border during previous administrations, but the current administration has blocked such efforts. The bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan to utilize, transfer, or donate the existing excess border wall construction materials to states on the southern border for the purpose of constructing a permanent physical barrier to stop illicit human and vehicle traffic. The bill also requires the Secretary to report on the internal decision-making process and costs associated with storing the unused border wall materials.
