Summary

Bars the federal government from using certain emergency economic, trade, and immigration authorities to block transactions, travel, visas, or the return of earnings for Cuban nationals who enter the United States on a specific nonimmigrant visa to play organized professional baseball. Creates a season-limited visa for those players that allows them to remain in the U.S. only for the baseball season and permits reentry tied to a valid player contract without requiring visa renewal during the contract period.

• Prevents use of certain emergency economic, trade, and immigration authorities to block transactions or travel for Cuban nationals who enter to play organized professional baseball.
• Bars denial of the baseball-related visa using the president's entry-suspension immigration authority.
• Prohibits restrictions on returning earnings from U.S. play to Cuba for these players.
• Creates a season-limited visa that allows stay in the U.S. only for the baseball season.
• Allows the visa holder to reenter without renewing the visa while covered by a valid player contract from the prior season.
• Specifically carves this treatment out from a limiting provision of the LIBERTAD Act, making the exemption effective despite that statute.
• Does not change broader Cuba sanctions or general immigration rules outside this narrow player category.
• Does not appropriate new funds or create a new spending program.
