What it does
The IBEM Act of 2025 amends the International Bridge Act of 1972 to streamline the Presidential permitting process for international bridges and land ports of entry along the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada. It removes time-limited restrictions on eligible projects, expands the definition of qualifying infrastructure to include land ports of entry, and prohibits the Secretary from compiling or considering environmental documents under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) when reviewing Presidential permit applications. These changes aim to expedite approvals for cross-border transportation infrastructure by reducing procedural delays tied to environmental review requirements.
