Bill > HJRes21

This resolution disapproves a rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) related to modernizing the H-2 worker visa program, which involves temporary foreign workers. Specifically, the resolution rejects the DHS rule published in the Federal Register (89 Fed. Reg. 103202) that aimed to update requirements, oversight, and worker protections for H-2 visa programs, which include H-2A (agricultural workers) and H-2B (non-agricultural workers). By passing this resolution, Congress effectively nullifies the rule, meaning the proposed changes to the H-2 program regulations will not take effect, and the existing regulations will remain in place. The resolution represents a legislative mechanism for Congress to exercise its oversight authority and block administrative rulemaking that it finds objectionable.
