DOL Announces Additional Guidance Based on Court Orders on the 2024 Farmworker Protection Final Rule
AILA Doc. No. 24122034.
Business Immigration, H-2A Agricultural Worker
DOL provided additional guidance after litigation in Barton v. DOL prevented DOL from implementing certain provisions of the Farmworker Protection Rule in certain states.
DOL stated that:
After further consideration and in light of these court orders, the Department has concluded that utilization of the current forms associated with the Farmworker Protection Rule is infeasible in the short term, including during the current peak H-2A filing season. As a result, the Department will utilize the forms applicable under the version of 20 CFR part 655, subpart B in effect on June 27, 2024.
See the full guidance for implementation procedures and technical assistance.
