TPS Relief Act
To permit judicial review of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) claims.
HB9523, also known as the TPS Relief Act, aims to allow individuals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to seek judicial review of their TPS claims. This means that those who have TPS and are facing potential removal from the U.S. would have the opportunity to challenge this decision in court. The bill is intended to ensure that these individuals can have their cases reviewed fairly and transparently.
This bill would primarily affect people who have been granted Temporary Protected Status due to ongoing situations in their home countries, such as armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. It would give them a legal pathway to contest decisions that may result in their removal from the United States.
HB9523 was introduced on June 29, 2026, and was immediately referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This is the first step in the legislative process, where the bill will be reviewed, potentially amended, and then considered for a vote by the full House.
