Supporting Farm Operations Act of 2024
This bill extends the current minimum wage rate for H-2A agricultural workers through December 31, 2025. It directly affects farm employers who hire temporary foreign workers under the H-2A visa program, ensuring they continue paying the wage rate in effect as of December 31, 2023. The key provision maintains the existing wage rate without modification for two additional years, avoiding potential increases. It also clarifies that job duties will be evaluated to determine the applicable wage rate for workers performing multiple tasks.
