Bill overview
The Save Our Seafood Act permanently exempts fish processors and fish roe processors from the annual cap on temporary nonagricultural worker visas (H-2B visas). Currently, a limit exists on these visas, but this bill removes that restriction for workers in the seafood processing industry. This change aims to address labor shortages in the fishing sector by allowing more workers to legally work in processing facilities. The bill also repeals a specific provision related to these visas from an older appropriations act.
