AI Summary
This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to define the terms "protection determination" and "protection merits interview".

A "protection merits interview" is an interview to determine if an individual meets the definition of a refugee, is eligible for withholding of removal, or is eligible for protection under the Convention Against Torture. These new definitions provide more specific terminology to describe the different types of screenings and interviews conducted during the asylum and immigration process.
