S 874 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Farm Operations Support Act

This bill extends the existing adverse effect wage rate for H-2A agricultural workers through December 31, 2023. It requires the Secretary of Labor to maintain the wage rate in effect in each state as of December 1, 2022, for these workers during that period. The bill directly affects agricultural employers hiring H-2A visa holders and the workers themselves, preventing immediate changes to their wage rates. It does not alter the actual wage amount but ensures stability by preserving the prior rate for one additional year. This is a procedural adjustment to current wage implementation rules.
