Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This bill ends the Diversity Visa (DV) lottery program. It removes the DV category from the immigration law and cleans up related references in other sections so the program no longer exists in law . The changes start on October 1, 2025.
What this means in everyday terms: the annual green card lottery would stop. People could no longer apply for or receive green cards through the DV lottery after the effective date. Other visa categories are not changed by this bill’s text.
