Plain Language Summary

# Summary of HR 6791 **What the Bill Does:** This bill would create a new "Land Port of Entry Community Infrastructure Program" designed to fund improvements to infrastructure in communities that support U.S. land border crossings (ports of entry). The program would address gaps in local infrastructure—such as roads, utilities, or other facilities—that help these border communities operate effectively. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects communities located near U.S. land borders, particularly in states like Texas where the sponsor is from.

Border crossing facilities, local governments, and residents of these communities would be the main beneficiaries if infrastructure funding becomes available. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 6791 is in committee, meaning it has been referred to the appropriate congressional committee for review and discussion but has not yet advanced to a full vote. The bill was introduced by Representative Tony Gonzales (R-TX). Without additional details on specific funding amounts or implementation mechanisms, the full scope of the program remains unclear from the title alone.
