This bill proposes a significant shift in the oversight of the H-2A agricultural guest worker program by transferring its administration. The primary change involves moving the program's management from the Secretary of Labor to the Secretary of Agriculture . To achieve this, the legislation amends Section 218 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, replacing references to the Secretary of Labor with the Secretary of Agriculture, and also updating mentions of the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security. All these amendments and the complete transfer of program administration, including necessary personnel, funding, and materials, are scheduled to become effective 60 days after the bill's enactment .
