Bill overview
This bill, the Paperwork Reduction for Farmers and H–2A Modernization Act, aims to simplify the process for employers hiring temporary agricultural workers through the H–2A visa program. It expands the types of agricultural labor covered by the visa, streamlines petition filing for both rehiring and multiple hires, and establishes an electronic filing and appeals system. The bill also includes a ‘safe harbor’ provision protecting employers from penalties for honest errors in visa applications when using third-party services.
