Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on the Budget, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Mauritania TPS Act of 2024 would grant temporary protected status to nationals of Mauritania living in the United States, allowing them to legally remain and work in the country for an initial 18-month period. To qualify, Mauritanian nationals must have been continuously physically present in the United States since the bill's enactment, be admissible as immigrants, and register with the Department of Homeland Security. The bill allows the government to charge a $360 application fee, though it requires the department to permit applicants to request a waiver of this fee. The legislation was introduced in January 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee and Budget Committee for consideration.
