HJRES 154 United States House · 119th Congress

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate.

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a Department of Labor rule that changes how the Adverse Effect Wage Rate is calculated for H-2A temporary agricultural workers. If passed, it would nullify the new methodology, reverting to the previous wage calculation standards. The bill directly affects employers and workers involved in temporary agricultural employment by restoring the prior regulatory framework. It uses the congressional review process to disapprove the specific rule published in October 2025.
