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

This bill would treat Burma as designated for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under federal immigration law, for an initial 18-month period beginning November 25, 2025. Nationals of Burma could qualify if they have been continuously physically present in the United States since the bill becomes law, are admissible as immigrants (with certain exceptions), are not otherwise barred from TPS, and register with the Department of Homeland Security. The Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to approve brief trips abroad for TPS holders who show emergency and extenuating circumstances beyond their control. People returning from such approved trips would be treated like other returning TPS holders.
