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 expands the scope of eligible projects to include land ports of entry, removes time restrictions on permit applications, and eliminates the requirement to consider environmental documents under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for such permits. The bill affects federal agencies involved in cross-border infrastructure, particularly the Secretary of State, and aims to expedite approvals for bridges and ports of entry critical to trade and travel.
