Abstract
(HR9494 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-25): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Why this matters
Country-specific adjustment acts are a recurring legislative mechanism for offering durable status to nationals from countries experiencing crisis, and HR9494 would extend that framework to Haitian refugees. Tracking its progress is relevant for affected Haitian populations currently relying on temporary protections such as TPS or humanitarian parole. As an introduced bill, its practical effect is contingent on committee advancement.
