Bill overview
This bill, the Hong Kong People’s Freedom and Choice Act, aims to protect Hong Kong residents facing potential political persecution by China. If China enacts national security legislation that curtails freedoms, the U.S. will offer temporary protected status for 18 months, granting work authorization and preventing removal. Additionally, the bill proposes a five-year extension of special treatment for Hong Kong residents in immigration calculations and creates pathways for special immigrant status and admission for highly skilled Hong Kong residents. It also adjusts immigration policies to better accommodate Hong Kong residents and supports international cooperation to protect those fleeing persecution.
