Diversity Visa Protection and Modernization Act
To protect the integrity of the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, prevent unauthorized program-wide suspension, ensure transparency and congressional oversight of executive action, and reaffirm congressional intent.
This bill aims to safeguard the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery, by preventing its suspension without proper authorization and ensuring the program's integrity. It also seeks to increase transparency and strengthen congressional oversight over any executive actions related to the program. The bill's main goal is to reaffirm the intent of Congress regarding this important immigration program.
The bill would primarily affect individuals participating in or interested in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. It would ensure the program continues to operate fairly and transparently, providing a pathway for immigrants from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
The bill was introduced on June 25, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review. It is currently in the initial stages of the legislative process.
