Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has put forth legislation amending the International Bridge Act of 1972 that would expedite the presidential permitting process for all international bridges and land ports of entry.
The bipartisan bill from Cruz and Sen. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., will expand on legislation previously written by Cruz and passed into law that streamlined permits for international bridges in Eagle Pass, Laredo and Brownsville.
The new bill will streamline all permits for international bridges and ports of entry for Mexico and Canada.

Cruz strongly urged his colleagues “to pass this bill so it can be sent to the President for signature.”
