Bill > S505

This bill, the Immigration Parole Reform Act of 2023, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to reform the immigration parole system. The key provisions include: 1) restricting the use of parole to only specific scenarios, such as for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit; 2) authorizing parole for certain individuals without lawful immigration status who have approved petitions, are not otherwise inadmissible, and are the spouse or child of an active duty military member or a Cuban national; 3) defining what constitutes "urgent humanitarian reasons" and "significant public benefit" for parole eligibility; 4) requiring parole to be granted on a case-by-case basis rather than by eligibility criteria for entire classes of aliens; and 5) mandating annual reporting on the use of parole. The bill also provides a cause of action for individuals or entities who experience financial harm due to the government's failure to properly apply the new parole provisions.
