Bill > S1281

This bill establishes a new P-4 nonimmigrant visa category specifically for mobile entertainment workers, such as those employed by traveling carnivals, circuses, and related service providers. The visa will be granted to foreign workers who can fill roles that are integral to mobile entertainment operations, including transporting, assembling, operating, disassembling, and maintaining attractions, rides, games, and concessions, provided that the Department of Labor certifies that there are not enough qualified U.S. workers available and that the foreign workers' employment will not negatively impact wages or working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. The bill defines mobile entertainment providers as traveling carnivals, circuses, and service providers that move around the United States on a seasonal or temporary basis, supporting events like state and county fairs, festivals, and nonprofit fundraisers. The legislation requires the Departments of Homeland Security and Labor to publish proposed rules within 180 days and final rules within one year of the bill's enactment, creating a structured pathway for implementing this new visa category and supporting the mobile entertainment industry's workforce needs.
