Bill overview
The Supporting Farm Operations Act of 2024 aims to help farmers by maintaining the current wage rates for temporary agricultural workers (H-2A nonimmigrants). It directs the Secretary of Labor to freeze the existing ‘adverse effect wage rate’ – the minimum wage paid to these workers – through December 31, 2025. The bill also clarifies how the Secretary of Labor should assess the duties performed by these workers to ensure appropriate wage determination. This action is intended to provide stability for agricultural employers and workers.
