AI Summary
This bill, the Correcting Hurtful and Alienating Names in Government Expression (CHANGE) Act, prohibits executive agencies from using the terms "alien" and "illegal alien" to refer to individuals who are not U.S. citizens or nationals. Instead, the bill establishes a uniform definition of "foreign national" to be used in all federal statutes, rules, and regulations. The bill also replaces occurrences of "illegal alien" with "undocumented foreign national" in various existing laws. The goal of the CHANGE Act is to remove derogatory language and promote more inclusive terminology when referring to non-citizens in government documents and communications.
