Bill overview
This bill, the Paperwork Reduction for Farmers and H–2A Modernization Act, aims to simplify the process for employers to hire agricultural workers through the H–2A program. It updates the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify eligibility requirements for these workers, streamlines joint employer applications, and establishes procedures for staggered employment dates and quick replacement of workers. The bill also introduces an electronic filing system for H–2A petitions and provides a ‘safe harbor’ from penalties for document fraud when using a third-party preparer.
