 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Stop Birth Tourism Act of 2015

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to authorize a consular officer or the Secretary of State to require that a nonimmigrant B-visa alien (temporary tourist or business visitor) provide a certification from a health care provider that the alien is not pregnant, or, if the alien is pregnant, regarding the status of the pregnancy.

Such an alien who is pregnant and likely to give birth in the United States is inadmissible.
