HR 1891 United States House · 119th Congress

Moving H–2A to United States Department of Agriculture Act of 2025

This bill transfers administration of the H-2A temporary agricultural worker visa program from the Department of Labor to the Department of Agriculture. It directly affects agricultural employers and temporary farmworkers who rely on the H-2A program for work visas. The key provision amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to change the responsible agency (replacing "Secretary of Labor" with "Secretary of Agriculture") and requires a 60-day transfer of personnel, funding, and materials. This is a procedural change in agency management, not a modification to program rules or eligibility criteria.
