Bill > HR2729

This bill, known as the Carnivals are Real Entertainment Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a new nonimmigrant visa category for mobile entertainment workers. Specifically, the bill adds a new subcategory (P)(iv) to the existing immigration visa classifications, allowing foreign workers to temporarily enter the United States to work for carnivals, circuses, and related service providers that travel around the country. The bill defines "mobile entertainment providers" as traveling carnivals, circuses, and associated businesses like food and game concessions that operate at state, county, local fairs, festivals, or nonprofit fundraising events. Workers in this category would be subject to the same program requirements as H-2B temporary non-agricultural workers, and their allowed functions include transporting, assembling, operating, disassembling, and maintaining entertainment attractions, structures, equipment, rides, games, and concessions. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Labor to publish proposed rules within 180 days and finalize them within one year of the act's enactment, creating a formal regulatory framework for this new class of temporary workers.
