Lebanon TPS Act of 2023

This bill would designate Lebanon for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), granting eligible Lebanese nationals already in the U.S. temporary legal status and protection from deportation. To qualify, individuals must have continuously resided in the U.S. since the bill's enactment, be admissible as immigrants, and register with authorities. The designation would last 18 months, allowing work authorization and shielding eligible individuals from removal. Approximately 12,000 people in the U.S. would qualify, per a 2023 report, with an estimated $420 million annual economic contribution.
