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 aims to exercise congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to reject a specific rule issued by the Department of Labor. The rule in question pertains to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate Methodology , which governs the wages paid to H-2A nonimmigrant workers in non-range occupations. Congress intends to prevent this particular regulation from taking effect, thereby maintaining the existing wage rate methodology or requiring a different approach. By disapproving this rule, Congress would effectively declare it to have no force or effect , preventing its implementation. This action directly impacts the Department of Labor's authority to set wage standards for temporary agricultural workers under the H-2A visa program. The resolution highlights a legislative intent to override executive branch rulemaking on a critical aspect of agricultural labor policy.
