H.R. 2806: U.S. Customs and Border Protection Rural and Remote Hiring and Retention Strategy Act of 2023

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Rural and Remote Hiring and Retention Strategy Act of 2023

This bill requires the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to issue a strategy and implementation plan to improve CBP's hiring and retention of individuals in rural or remote areas.

Until the strategy and implementation plan are issued, DHS must periodically brief Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on its progress. After receiving each DHS report, the GAO must submit to Congress an assessment of the effectiveness of the actions described in the DHS report.
