Plain-English Summary
The proposal would authorize the use of bicycles and other non-motorized vehicles as part of border patrol operations, allowing agents to access terrain that traditional vehicles cannot easily reach. This would affect Border Patrol officers and potentially improve surveillance and enforcement capabilities in remote or difficult-to-navigate areas along the U.S. borders.
