CATCH Fentanyl Act
S 4062 (CATCH Fentanyl Act) requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to launch 5-year pilot projects testing new technology enhancements - including AI, machine learning, and quantum sensing - at land border ports. The pilot must evaluate at least five types of nonintrusive scanning technologies to improve detection of contraband (like fentanyl, weapons, and drugs) and reduce inspection wait times. CBP must report on effectiveness, costs, and integration plans after the pilot ends, focusing on metrics like detection accuracy, throughput, and safety. The bill directly affects CBP operations at border ports but does not mandate permanent implementation.
