GRACE Act

The GRACE Act sets a minimum annual refugee admission floor of 125,000 people to the U.S., requiring the President to determine the exact number (with 125,000 as the default if no determination is made before a fiscal year begins). It mandates that regional refugee admissions must align with the UN High Commissioner's resettlement needs projections and includes an unallocated reserve for urgent regional needs. The bill requires the President to submit quarterly reports to Congress detailing actual admissions, regional distribution, processing timelines, security clearance rates, and plans to meet annual goals. This directly affects refugees seeking U.S. resettlement, the President's refugee admission authority, and federal agencies managing refugee processing.
