The section adds a new subparagraph (B) to section 36B(e)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 treating a lawfully present alien as an eligible alien where they are, and are reasonably expected to stay for the whole enrollment period, an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, an alien granted the status of Cuban and Haitian entrant, or someone lawfully residing under a Compact of Free Association.
What the document actually says“An individual who is an alien and lawfully present shall be treated as an eligible alien if such individual is, and is reasonably expected to be for the entire period of enrollment for which the credit under this section is being claimed--”

One is a person with a green card. One is a Cuban or Haitian entrant. One is a person here under a pact.
