What this bill would do
This bill is known as the Nicholas Douglas Quets Border Travel Safety Act. It requires the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to install and maintain warning signs near the southern border.

The signs will be placed at land ports of entry, approach roadways, and other visible locations. They will include details like QR codes, risk indicators, and English and Spanish text. The bill also mandates annual reviews of the signage and reports to Congress without authorizing any additional funds.
