Immigration: Temporary Protected Status.
What changed between versions
The bill's scope was expanded from addressing only Social Security to also covering immigration policy, specifically Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The title now reads 'Relative to public social services. Immigration.'
New WHEREAS clauses provide specific data on California's TPS population: approximately 68,000 residents affected (one of the largest populations outside Florida), including about 49,000 Salvadorans and 6,000 Hondurans, many with over 20 years in the U.S. and U.S. citizen children. Also notes over 80 percent workforce participation and more than $2.7 billion in annual economic output in California, plus an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 TPS residents in San Francisco.
New resolution condemns decisions by both past and current Trump administrations to terminate or curtail TPS designations for people from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, and other affected nations, and denounces federal policies that seek to strip lawful status from long-residing individuals.
New resolution urges Congress to enact bipartisan legislation providing a path to permanent residency and eventual citizenship for TPS holders who have lawfully resided in the United States for many years.
The transmission clause was expanded to include the United States Secretary of Homeland Security as a recipient of copies of the resolution, in addition to the President, Vice President, Speaker, Majority Leader, and California's congressional delegation.
The sponsor name was changed from 'Assembly Member Schiavo' to 'Assembly Member Schiavo Haney,' likely reflecting a surname change.
