S 207 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Temporary Protected Status Reform and Integrity Act

This bill, S 207 (Temporary Protected Status Reform and Integrity Act), amends the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program by shifting designation authority from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security. It establishes 90-day reviews before TPS expiration with potential 18-month extensions, requires detailed congressional reporting about country conditions, and adds new eligibility requirements including restrictions for individuals with criminal convictions. The bill creates a 180-day grace period after TPS termination during which beneficiaries can remain in the U.S. and seek other legal status, while restricting travel abroad without prior approval. It also prohibits judicial review of TPS decisions and requires electronic filing of applications within 90 days of designation announcement.
