Northern Border Reopening Transparency Act

Bill 117 hr 3770, also known as the Northern Border Reopening Transparency Act, aims to increase transparency and accountability in the process of reopening the northern border of the United States. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to provide regular updates to Congress and the public on the criteria and metrics used to determine when and how the border will be reopened.

Specifically, the bill mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security must submit a report to Congress within 30 days of the bill's enactment, outlining the specific criteria and metrics being used to evaluate the reopening of the northern border. This report must be updated every 30 days until the border is fully reopened.

Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary to consult with state and local officials, as well as tribal governments, in developing the criteria and metrics for reopening the border. This ensures that the concerns and input of these stakeholders are taken into consideration in the decision-making process. Overall, the Northern Border Reopening Transparency Act seeks to provide clear and consistent information to Congress and the public regarding the reopening of the northern border, while also ensuring that the perspectives of state and local officials are included in the decision-making process.
