Lets fish processing businesses hire temporary foreign workers without visa limits.
This bill would let fish processing businesses hire temporary foreign workers for specific jobs without counting against a yearly visa limit. This change would make a temporary rule permanent, giving these businesses more certainty in finding workers. It would affect foreign workers seeking these jobs and the companies that employ them.
Today, there is a yearly limit on H-2B visas for temporary foreign workers, but fish processors have a temporary exemption. This bill would make that exemption permanent for specific fish processing jobs. This means businesses would have a consistent way to hire these workers without worrying about the yearly visa cap expiring.
