This legislation introduces significant reforms to the H-2A agricultural worker program, aiming to streamline processes and enhance worker mobility. It mandates the creation of an **online portal** for employers to file H-2A petitions and post job openings, allowing for simultaneous processing by relevant agencies and accommodating staggered labor needs. Key changes include establishing a new H-2A wage rate at the applicable state minimum wage plus $2.00 per hour and extending the period of authorized admission for H-2A workers to one year. Additionally, returning H-2A workers who pass security checks will qualify for expedited review, bypassing in-person interviews. A central provision is the establishment of a **6-year pilot program** for "portable H-2A workers," designed to facilitate their free movement and employment among registered agricultural employers within the state of initial admission. An online platform will connect these workers with available job opportunities, and designated "registered agricultural employers" can hire them without filing new petitions, provided they meet wage and workers' compensation requirements. Individuals previously admitted in H-2A status can apply for portable H-2A status, with a numerical cap of 10,000 workers, and have 60 days to secure new employment if their current job ends. The bill also expands H-2A eligibility to include workers in **greenhouses and indoor farms**, regardless of the temporary or seasonal nature of the work. The Department of Labor is tasked with enforcing compliance and conducting audits within the pilot program. Finally, it mandates several Government Accountability Office reports to assess the H-2A program's integrity, employer challenges, worker protections, and the impact of the reforms on wages and working conditions for U.S. farm workers.
