Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue a rule within 180 days of the law taking effect. The rule would require that immigration status documents sent by the U.S. Postal Service include a way to account for delivery. That measure could be a Postal Service barcode or tracking number for each document, or a requirement that the recipient sign for mail sent from a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services facility. The rule would not apply to documents handed to a person in person.
