House Bill 3761 amends the Agriculture Code to add temporary provisions requiring the Department of Agriculture (TDA) to consider the feasibility of creating and administering a program to allow trained TDA employees to assist U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Department of Agriculture with certain agricultural inspections at ports of entry along the Mexican border with the goal of reducing the wait time for an agricultural inspection of a vehicle. The bill establishes reporting requirements concerning the feasibility of such a program and the nature of any agreements with the federal government required to implement the program.
