AI Summary
This bill, the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act or the NO BAN Act, aims to expand the nondiscrimination provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit discrimination based on religion when issuing immigrant visas, nonimmigrant visas, and other forms of entry into the United States. It also transfers and limits the President's authority to suspend or restrict the entry of a class of aliens, requiring the President to provide specific evidence and justification, consult Congress, and comply with certain procedural requirements. The bill also mandates regular reporting on the implementation of relevant presidential proclamations and executive orders, including data on visa applications, approvals, denials, and waivers.
