The U.S. government has published its semiannual regulatory agendas, offering an indication of the Biden administration’s top immigration priorities in the coming months. Many of the proposed regulations were listed on previous regulatory agendas, though agency timelines for publication have been adjusted.
Additional Information: The Department of Labor moved a proposed rule regarding PERM and H-1B wage protections to the long-term regulatory agenda and is now targeting a publication date of June 2024. Other items on the regulatory agenda include a proposal to modernize and reform the H-2A and H-2B programs (target publication date of September 2023). The full regulatory agenda is available here.
BAL Analysis: While the regulations would have significant impact on immigration programs, they are at different stages in the rulemaking process, and policies are still being formulated. Proposed regulations are subject to a public notice-and-comment period during which members of the public may submit feedback. BAL continues to monitor the regulatory agenda and will provide clients with updates on individual regulations as they move through the rulemaking process.
