Bill Summary

A BILL To provide for the designation of Burma for temporary protected status.

AI Summary

This bill would designate Burma for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a program that allows individuals from designated countries experiencing extraordinary circumstances, such as armed conflict or natural disaster, to remain in the United States temporarily and work legally. Specifically, it treats Burma as if it were already designated under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a law that governs TPS. This designation would be effective for an initial 18-month period starting November 25, 2025. Nationals of Burma who have been continuously present in the U.S. since the bill's enactment, are otherwise admissible as immigrants (with some exceptions), and register for TPS with the Secretary of Homeland Security would be eligible. Furthermore, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be authorized to grant consent for eligible individuals to travel abroad for emergency or extenuating circumstances, and they would be treated as other returning TPS beneficiaries upon their reentry.
