Referred to Senate (sub)committee

Like similar measures, H.R. 4038 of 11/17/15 and H.R. 3999 of 11/16/15, this bill was introduced in the wake of the ISIS-affiliated attacks in Paris on 11/13/15 to curtail or block the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the U.S. It would require the FBI to ensure that each refugee who applies for admission to the U.S. from Iraq or Syria receives a background investigation, and that the inspector gen. of the Dept. of Homeland Security conduct annual reviews of all certified refugee admissions.

Last major action: 11/18/15 referred to Senate Comm. on the Judiciary.
