Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1689) to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This House resolution sets the terms for considering H.R. 1689, a bill requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status. It waives points of order, treats a substitute amendment as adopted, provides one hour of debate split between party leaders, preserves one motion to recommit, and requires Senate transmission within one week after passage.
Who Benefits and How
Supporters of Haiti TPS benefit because the rule automatically adopts substitute text requiring TPS for Haiti until three months after January 20, 2029. Haitian nationals who would qualify for TPS could benefit indirectly if the underlying bill passes under this rule.
Who Bears the Burden and How
House members opposing the Haiti TPS bill bear a procedural burden because the rule waives points of order and limits amendment opportunities. The Department of Homeland Security would bear implementation duties under the deemed-adopted substitute if H.R. 1689 is enacted.
Key Provisions
- Provides immediate House consideration of H.R. 1689.
- Deems adopted a substitute requiring Haiti TPS through three months after January 20, 2029.
- Waives points of order against consideration and against amended bill provisions.
- Allows one hour of debate controlled by party leaders or designees.
