What this bill does
- This resolution cancels a DHS rule that extended work permits for certain immigrants from 180 days to 540 days.
- The change affects noncitizens who renew their employment authorization documents on time.
- If passed, the rule would be nullified and the shorter 180-day extension period would be restored.
