Relating to the regulation of migrant labor housing facilities; changing the amount of a civil penalty.

HB 164 increases fines for violations of migrant housing regulations from $50 to $200 per day per person. It allows qualifying migrant agricultural workers (those living in the facility and not on H-2A visas) to sue for penalties, in addition to county attorneys or the state. The bill also prevents duplicate enforcement actions by setting specific timing rules for lawsuits. This directly affects housing facility operators and eligible workers who face violations.
