Bill > HR495

This bill, known as the Subterranean Border Defense Act, modifies an existing provision in the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 related to counter illicit cross-border tunnel operations. Specifically, the bill requires annual reporting on strategic plans for addressing underground tunnels used for illegal cross-border activities, by adding the phrase "and annually thereafter" to the existing law. This means that after the initial development of the strategic plan, the relevant government agencies will be required to submit reports on their progress and strategies each year. The bill appears to be aimed at enhancing border security by ensuring ongoing attention and reporting on the prevention and detection of underground tunnels used for potentially illegal cross-border movements.
