State Border Security Reimbursement Act of 2025

# State Border Security Reimbursement Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require the federal government to reimburse states for money they've spent on border security activities. Any state that has spent more than $2.5 billion on border security and enforcement over the past 10 years would be eligible to receive reimbursement for those costs.

States would need to submit detailed records of their border security expenses (excluding any costs already covered by federal funding) by a deadline set in the bill to receive the reimbursement. **Who It Affects:** This bill primarily affects states with significant border security expenses, particularly border states like Texas, Arizona, California, and New Mexico. It would also impact the federal budget, as the government would need to allocate funds for these reimbursements. **Current Status:** The bill (HR 424) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
