Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3310) to designate Venezuela under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to permit nationals of Venezuela to be eligible for temporary protected status under such section, and for other purposes.
Summary
H.Res. 1046 is a procedural resolution that would enable the House of Representatives to consider H.R. 3310, which proposes designating Venezuela under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If enacted, H.R. 3310 would make Venezuelan nationals eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a program that allows foreign nationals from designated countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, natural disaster, or other extraordinary conditions to live and work temporarily in the United States.
It is important to note that H.Res. 1046 itself is a non-binding resolution and does not have the force of law. It is a procedural measure designed to move H.R. 3310 forward for consideration by the full House. The actual substantive changes to immigration policy would only occur if H.R. 3310 passes both chambers of Congress and is signed by the President. Currently, this resolution is under committee consideration, with a discharge petition filed in March 2026 to attempt to bring it to the House floor for a vote.
