A bipartisan House bill to consolidate CBP positions is scheduled to get a vote this week. Introduced by Reps. Michelle Steel, R-Calif., and Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., the measure would eliminate job descriptions of import specialist, entry specialist, national account manager, international trade specialist, drawback specialist and national import specialist, consolidating those duties under the job of global trade specialist. The bill previously passed out of the Ways and Means Committee unanimously (see 2311070066).
