According to this article on Fox News, by Thomas Barrabi

“Sen. Ted Cruz and several other prominent GOP senators introduced legislation Tuesday to codify a Trump-era provision that allows border officials to rapidly expel migrants who illegally cross the border.

Dubbed the “Securing the Homeland from International Entrants with Life-threatening Diseases,” or SHIELD Act, the bill would extend Title 42 public health protections first enacted in March 2020. The provision allows authorities to turn away migrants in the interest of public health due to the potential spread of COVID-19.”
