S. 4572: Non-Intrusive Inspection Expansion Act

117th Congress

A bill to require U.S. Customs and Border Protection to expand the use of non-intrusive inspection systems at land ports of entry.

Sponsor: Sen. Gary Peters — D — MI

Requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to increase its use of non-intrusive inspection (NII) systems at land ports of entry. Beginning in 2024, the bill would require CBP to use NII systems to inspect 40 percent of passenger vehicles and 90 percent of commercial vehicles entering the United States. NII systems, such as large-scale X-ray and Gamma-ray systems and handheld scanners, are used to quickly examine vehicles for weapons, narcotics, and other materials that pose nuclear and radiological threats. The bill also requires CBP and the Government Accountability Office to submit various reports to the Congress about the use of NII at the U.S border.
