Bill > HR1386

This bill, the Equal Citizenship for Children Act of 2023, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for the automatic acquisition of U.S. citizenship for certain children born outside the United States to a parent who is or becomes a U.S. citizen. The key provisions of the bill include: expanding the definition of "child" to include non-marital children and children whose parent-child relationship satisfies the parentage laws of the child's or parent's residence or domicile, even outside the U.S.; clarifying that certain provisions regarding loss of citizenship or required U.S. residence for the citizen parent do not apply in these cases; and applying these changes retroactively to persons born after January 9, 1941, without affecting the validity of citizenship obtained under other provisions of law.
