A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate Methodology.

This joint resolution proposes to formally disapprove and nullify a specific rule issued by the Department of Labor regarding the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) methodology. The AEWR is the minimum wage that employers must pay to foreign workers brought into the United States under the H-2A visa program for temporary agricultural labor. By using the Congressional Review Act, this legislation aims to prevent the rule from having any legal force or effect.

If enacted, the resolution would effectively cancel recent changes to how these agricultural wages are calculated. For everyday citizens, particularly those in the farming and ranching industries, this could impact the labor costs for employers who rely on seasonal foreign workers and influence the pay scales for domestic workers in similar roles. Because this is a joint resolution, it would require approval by both chambers of Congress and the President's signature to become law.
