A resolution to urge the United States Congress to pass legislation temporarily freezing the Adverse Effect Wage Rate for the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers Program.

This resolution urges Congress to pass a law that would temporarily freeze the minimum wage required for H-2A temporary foreign agricultural workers in Michigan. It directly affects Michigan farmers who rely on this program to staff their operations due to a shortage of domestic labor. The bill proposes keeping the wage rate set at $18.50 per hour through the end of 2025, rather than allowing it to increase annually. Supporters argue that freezing this rate will help reduce rising farm costs and prevent potential farm closures.
