To require ports of entry along the northern border to remain open as many hours per day as they were open prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Summary
This bill would require U.S. Customs and Border Protection to restore the operating hours at all U.S.-Canada land crossings to their pre-pandemic levels. If passed, any northern port of entry that reduced its hours during the COVID-19 public health emergency would be mandated to return to its previous schedule or remain open even longer. For citizens and local businesses, this measure is intended to ensure more predictable travel and trade by preventing permanent service reductions at border crossings along the northern frontier.
