To designate Ukraine under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide certain nationals of Ukraine with continued eligibility for temporary protected status, and for other purposes.

This bill would designate Ukraine for temporary protected status (TPS) after the current designation expires on October 19, 2026. The new designation would run from October 20, 2026, to July 1, 2029. Ukrainian nationals, and people without a nationality who last lived in Ukraine, could qualify if they have lived and been physically present in the United States since the bill becomes law, meet admissibility rules, and register with the Department of Homeland Security. The Secretary of Homeland Security would have to decide TPS and work permit applications within 90 days and would have to allow brief trips abroad for emergency reasons. If enacted after October 20, 2026, the bill would apply back to that date.
