AI Summary
This bill, the Carnivals are Real Entertainment Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide nonimmigrant status to mobile entertainment workers, such as those who work for carnivals, circuses, or other providers of services that travel around the United States on a temporary or seasonal basis to provide services at events like state, county, and local fairs and festivals. The bill requires the Department of Labor to certify mobile entertainment positions if there are not sufficient U.S. workers available and the employment of the foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers. The bill also defines "mobile entertainment provider" and directs the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Labor to issue proposed and final rules implementing these provisions within a specified timeframe.
