H.R. 2203 · 114th Congress
To remove the Kosovo Liberation Army from treatment as a terrorist organization, and for other purposes.
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · May 1, 2015
Declares that the Kosovo Liberation Army shall not be considered a terrorist organization under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), unless the Secretary of State decides otherwise in the Secretary's sole and unreviewable discretion.
Amends INA to make terrorist activity-related inadmissibility criteria inapplicable to an alien's activities undertaken in association with the Kosovo Liberation Army if the alien:
- is applying for a nonimmigrant visa, unless a consular officer knows or has reasonable grounds to believe that the alien poses a threat to U.S. security, or believes that the visa should not be issued; or
- presents himself or herself for inspection and admission as a nonimmigrant to an immigration officer at a port of entry or is applying in the United States for nonimmigrant status, unless the Secretary of Homeland Security knows, or has reasonable grounds to believe, that the alien poses a threat to U.S. security, or otherwise believes that the alien should not be admitted to the United States or granted nonimmigrant status.
Authorizes the Secretary of State to suspend such prohibition on a case-by-case basis.
