To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to direct the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to implement large-scale, non-intrusive inspection technology at land ports of entry identified as high risk, and for other purposes.

HR9565, introduced by Rep. Schweikert (R-AZ), amends the Homeland Security Act to require the Secretary of Homeland Security, through CBP, to implement large-scale non-intrusive inspection technology (e.g., X-ray, CT scanners) at land ports of entry identified as high risk. The bill was referred to the Homeland Security and Ways and Means Committees on June 30, 2026—early in the legislative process.

There is no explicit funding authorization in the bill text. As an authorization bill, it sets policy direction but does not allocate money; actual spending requires separate appropriations. The likely mechanism is that CBP would seek funding through DHS appropriations bills to procure additional inspection systems. The bill's mandate creates a clear signal for increased procurement of cargo and vehicle screening equipment.

The primary beneficiaries are companies that manufacture non-intrusive inspection systems for border security. OSI Systems (OSIS) via its Rapiscan division is a pure-play leader in cargo and baggage screening. Leidos (LDOS) provides integrated border security systems and has a history of CBP contracts. L3Harris (LHX) supplies sensors and communications that could be part of integrated solutions, though less directly tied. No related bills or procurement data were provided for convergence analysis.

The legislative timeline is uncertain. The bill must pass both committees, the full House, and the Senate before reaching the President. Given the early stage and single sponsor, passage is not imminent. However, the directive reflects bipartisan interest in border technology. Investors should monitor committee markups and appropriations riders.
