The new regulations expand who Cuban-Americans can visit in Cuba and allows them to stay longer, visit more frequently and spend more money while they are there. "I'm very pleased to see the immediate implementation of the changes," said Serrano after the regulations were changed. "[It] is a welcome change, and a move towards a humane and rational travel policy."

The language in Serrano's portion of the bill also included language to loosen restrictions on agricultural trade with and travel to Cuba.
