Protecting American Workers Through H-1B Modernization Act

Current understanding

A House bill introduced to modify the H-1B skilled-worker visa program with the stated purpose of protecting American workers. The bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee and has not been enacted; specific statutory changes (e.g., wage levels, selection method, labor condition requirements) would take effect only if passed and signed into law. Practical effect on H-1B petitioners, employers, and workers is currently none.
