HR 4726 United States House · 118th Congress

To terminate the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for aliens, and for other purposes.

HR 4726 terminates the requirement that aliens (non-citizens) must be vaccinated against COVID-19 to obtain visas, adjust to permanent residency, or naturalize as U.S. citizens. The bill immediately ends this mandate upon enactment and prohibits federal funding for any administration or enforcement of the vaccination rule. It specifically targets requirements set by the CDC and DHS under existing public health laws. This change directly affects non-citizens applying for visas, green cards, or U.S. citizenship who previously faced this vaccination condition. The policy shift removes a specific health-related barrier from three key immigration processes.
