S 4591 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Save Our Seafood Act

This bill exempts certain foreign workers in seafood processing from annual visa caps under the H-2B program. It specifically applies to aliens working as fish roe processors, fish roe technicians, supervisors of fish roe processing, or general fish processors. The exemption removes numerical limits for these roles, defined as handling, preparing, freezing, or manufacturing fish (including roe, finfish, mollusks, and crustaceans) but excluding harvesting, transport, or retail work. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create this specific visa exemption for the seafood processing industry.
