Progress
Timeline
- Mar 26Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
**What it does:** This joint resolution would block a Department of Labor rule about the "Adverse Effect Wage Rate" (AEWR) using Congress's authority to disapprove federal regulations. **Who it affects:** The AEWR typically applies to agricultural employers who hire temporary foreign workers and the wage rates those workers must be paid. This would affect: - Agricultural employers - Temporary foreign agricultural workers - U.S. agricultural workers whose wages are influenced by these rates **What would change:** If passed, this resolution would prevent the Labor Department's new rule from taking effect, maintaining the current wage rate system instead of implementing whatever changes the Department proposed. **Current status:** The resolution is still in committee and has not been voted on by the full House or Senate. *Note: The specific details of what the Labor Department rule would change are not provided in this document.*
