To authorize the Land Port of Entry Community Infrastructure Program to address deficiencies in community infrastructure supportive of land ports of entry, and for other purposes.

This bill establishes the Land Port of Entry Community Infrastructure Program , authorizing the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide financial assistance to state, tribal, and local governments, as well as not-for-profit, member-owned utility services. The program aims to address deficiencies in community infrastructure that either directly supports a land port of entry or is disproportionately impacted by its presence. Eligible "community infrastructure" encompasses a broad range of projects, including transportation, water, wastewater, telecommunications, and other utility improvements. The Secretary will establish criteria for eligible projects across several categories, such as those designed to improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of trade and travel , enhance border security , and bolster the resilience of land ports and their supportive infrastructure. Projects that enhance the quality of life for U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel families and address the direct impacts of ports on surrounding communities , like traffic congestion or environmental degradation, are also eligible. Project selection will consider recommendations from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's 2024 report and State capital investment plans. A 30 percent non-Federal matching contribution is generally required from recipients, though this can be reduced or entirely waived for projects in rural areas or for homeland security reasons. The bill also allows for reimbursement of eligible project costs incurred by entities on or after November 15, 2021, and authorizes the appropriation of necessary funds to carry out the program.
