This joint resolution proposes to nullify a specific rule issued by the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. The rule, published in October 2025, outlines the Adverse Effect Wage Rate Methodology for the temporary employment of H-2A nonimmigrants in non-range occupations across the United States. By invoking congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, this resolution seeks to prevent the rule from taking effect. If enacted, the Department of Labor's new methodology for determining these wage rates would be rendered without force or effect, effectively maintaining the prior regulations.
