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 seeks congressional disapproval of a Department of Labor rule designed to improve protections for temporary agricultural workers. It invokes a specific federal process under Title 5 to block the rule from taking effect, preventing the proposed changes from being implemented. The rule, published April 29, 2024, would have affected temporary farmworkers’ rights and working conditions. If passed, the resolution would nullify the rule, meaning the Department of Labor’s proposed protections would not be enforced.
