Bill overview
This bill, the Seasonal Act, allows states to request additional temporary worker visas (H-2B) when they have a demonstrated need for labor and a seasonally low unemployment rate. States must certify a persistent labor shortage, ensure the visas won't displace domestic workers or negatively impact wages, and meet certain application requirements. The Department of Homeland Security will issue these visas if they comply, and the bill requires annual reports to Congress detailing the program's impact.
