Bill > HR3310

This bill provides temporary protected status (TPS) for Venezuelan nationals in the United States, allowing them to legally remain in the country for 18 months from the date of enactment. To be eligible, Venezuelan nationals must have been continuously physically present in the US since the bill's enactment, be admissible as immigrants, and register for TPS with the Department of Homeland Security. The bill allows for limited international travel under emergency circumstances, with prior consent from the Department of Homeland Security, and permits travelers to return and maintain their TPS status. Applicants will be required to pay a $360 application fee, though the Secretary of Homeland Security can waive this fee for those who cannot afford it. The bill is designed to provide humanitarian relief for Venezuelans who may be unable to return to their home country due to ongoing political and economic instability, offering them a temporary legal status and work authorization while protecting them from potential deportation. The legislation also includes a standard budgetary provision to track the financial impact of the bill according to the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010.
