Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create a detailed plan within 180 days of enactment to identify, integrate, and deploy emerging technologies - including AI, advanced sensors, drones, and communication systems - to enhance U.S. border security operations. The plan must assess current CBP Innovation Teams, evaluate privacy impacts on border communities, identify outdated legacy systems for replacement, and outline coordination with private companies, universities, and federal labs. It also mandates annual reports on pilot projects, transition progress for successful technologies, and metrics to measure effectiveness. The direct effect is on CBP and DHS leadership, who must implement these requirements to address border security gaps using new technologies.
