Bill overview
This bill, the Restoring Industry Development in Entertainment Act (RIDE Act), creates a new type of nonimmigrant visa – a P-4 visa – specifically for workers in the mobile entertainment industry. It aims to address labor shortages by allowing companies that operate mobile entertainment like carnivals and fairs to temporarily bring in workers who are needed to operate and maintain their attractions and equipment. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘mobile entertainment provider’ and requires the Department of Labor to certify that hiring these workers won’t negatively impact American workers’ wages and conditions.
