AI Summary
This bill, the Revealing and Explaining Visa Exclusions for Accountability and Legitimacy (REVEAL) Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow the Secretary of State to make publicly available the identity of individuals determined to be inadmissible to the United States due to their involvement in corruption or human rights abuses, as well as the grounds for such determinations. The bill also requires the President to submit annual reports to Congress listing these individuals, with an exception to allow the inclusion of certain names in a classified annex for national security reasons. The unclassified portions of these reports will be made publicly available, overriding the confidentiality requirements for visa records.
