Prohibits governmental entities from installing or constructing physical barriers like walls or fences on state park property to impede border crossings, so less border security infrastructure is built.
"Border security infrastructure" means a wall, fence, or other physical barrier designed or adapted to impede the movement of persons or objects crossing the Texas-Mexico border.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a prohibition in the Parks and Wildlife Code barring any governmental entity from leasing or agreeing to build border security infrastructure (defined as walls, fences, or barriers to impede border crossings) on state park land, which limits state and local border enforcement infrastructure.
