This legislation aims to significantly restrict the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) ability to grant work authorizations to foreign students. It specifically prohibits the use of any DHS funds, including those from the Immigration Examinations Fee Account, for adjudicating, processing, or extending employment authorizations for F or M visa holders. This restriction applies unless such employment is expressly authorized by an Act of Congress . Furthermore, the bill mandates the rescission of unobligated balances within the Immigration Examinations Fee Account that are directly attributable to fees collected for processing these now-unauthorized foreign student employment applications. The Secretary of Homeland Security is required to determine the precise amount of funds to be rescinded within 30 days following the bill's enactment, effectively limiting the scope of foreign student employment by requiring direct congressional approval.
