Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to Improving Protections for Workers in Temporary Agricultural Employment in the United States.
This joint resolution would reject a Department of Labor rule designed to strengthen protections for temporary agricultural workers in the United States. Using a congressional disapproval process under federal law, the resolution would nullify the Labor Department's rule and prevent it from taking effect. The rule, published in the Federal Register on April 29, 2024, was intended to improve working conditions and safeguards for temporary agricultural employees. The resolution was introduced in May 2024 by Representatives Armstrong, Johnson of South Dakota, and Bentz, and was referred to the House Judiciary Committee. If passed, the rule would be completely invalidated and have no legal force.
