Farm Workforce Support Act of 2023
HR 2915, the Farm Workforce Support Act of 2023, requires the Comptroller General to study the H-2A visa program and submit a report to specific congressional committees within two years. The report must examine how the program affects hiring (including impacts on domestic and guest workers), challenges in providing housing for guest workers, wage rate effects on employer recruitment, economic impacts of lost wages for guest worker families, and compliance with working condition guarantees. This bill does not create new policy but mandates a detailed analysis of the existing H-2A program's operations and impacts. The study will directly inform Congress on the program's current functioning and potential issues.
