Specifically, the bill authorizes the use of these funds for the updating of fencing to incorporate new or emerging technologies. This provision allows for the repair or replacement of fencing with more advanced solutions. A crucial condition is that such technological updates must not increase the cost of the repair or replacement compared to traditional methods.
