This House Resolution sets forth the specific procedural rules for the consideration of H.R. 1689, a bill aimed at requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status. It mandates immediate consideration, waives all points of order against the bill and its provisions, and specifies the terms for debate and a motion to recommit. Crucially, the resolution includes an amendment in the nature of a substitute that, if adopted, would legally compel the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant Temporary Protected Status to Haiti. This designation would remain in effect for a defined period, specifically until three months after January 20, 2029, providing a clear end date for the protected status.
