House Bill 1925, also known as the "One America Act," introduces new requirements for individuals residing in Tennessee who are not lawfully present in the United States. The bill mandates that these individuals must register with the Department of Safety and undergo an interview to determine their eligibility for a one-year visa for re-entry into the U.S. and Tennessee. The Department of Safety is required to make a decision within thirty days of the interview and notify the individual of their eligibility status. If deemed eligible, the individual must leave the U.S. within ninety days and remain outside for at least thirty days before using the visa to re-enter lawfully. Additionally, if the individual does not commit any criminal offenses during the one-year period, they may apply for a permanent resident card.

The bill also stipulates that individuals who are found ineligible for the one-year visa must leave the United States within thirty days of receiving notice from the Department of Safety. The act will take effect thirty days after the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services establishes the necessary rules and regulations for its implementation. The commissioner of safety is tasked with notifying the Tennessee Code Commission of this occurrence and the effective date.
