Summary

Anti-Border Corruption Reauthorization Act of 2017

This bill amends the Anti-Border Corruption Act of 2010 to revise the waiver authority of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for polygraph examinations of applicants for law enforcement positions in CBP. Such waiver authority terminates five years after the enactment of this bill.

Any individual who is granted a waiver and holds a current Tier 4 background investigation (High Risk Public Trust) shall be subject to a Tier 5 (Critical Sensitive and Special Sensitive National Security) background investigation.

The CBP may administer a polygraph examination to an applicant for employment or employee who is eligible for a waiver if information is discovered prior to the completion of a background investigation that results in a determination that an examination is necessary to make a final determination regarding suitability for employment or continued employment.

House Amendment 127
Amendment sought to prohibit the bill from going into effect until the CBP completes its evaluation and pilot program of the Test for Espionage, Sabotage, and Corruption (TES-C) which is then certified by the DHS Inspector General and reported to Congress. Also, the DHS Inspector General completes a risk assessment of the population that could receive waivers and certifies to Congress that providing waivers to these individuals would not endanger national security, undermine workforce integrity, or increase corruption in the agency.
