Bill overview
This bill creates temporary protected status (TPS) for Bahamian nationals, allowing them to live and work in the United States for 18 months following the bill’s enactment. It designates The Bahamas as a country facing extraordinary conditions – in this case, the impact of Hurricane Dorian – that necessitate the designation. Individuals seeking TPS must have continuously resided in the U.S. since the bill’s passage, meet standard admissibility requirements, and register with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
