What it does
This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a Department of Labor rule concerning the Adverse Effect Wage Rate methodology for H-2A nonimmigrant workers in non-range occupations, as published in the Federal Register on October 2, 2025. If enacted, the resolution would nullify the rule, rendering it without legal force or effect. The measure affects agricultural employers who rely on the H-2A visa program and the wage standards used to determine pay for temporary foreign workers in certain non-range occupations. It was introduced by Representatives Lofgren, Pocan, Norcross, Espaillat, Jayapal, Raskin, and Omar and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
