What this bill would do

The Enduring Welcome Act of 2025 seeks to modify the responsibilities of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts. It establishes an Office of the Coordinator within the Department of State. This office will handle tasks such as supporting voluntary departures, coordinating interagency vetting, and facilitating resettlement logistics. The bill also aims to address family reunification barriers for active-duty servicemembers and veterans. Additionally, it mandates the creation of a secure, centralized database to track Afghan applicants and beneficiaries. The Act includes a sunset provision that terminates its authorities five years after enactment.
