Permanent rules for returning workers and enhanced identity verification.

This act establishes permanent rules for seasonal workers who have previously worked in the U.S., potentially simplifying their re-employment. Concurrently, it mandates biometric entry and exit scans and more thorough identity verification to enhance security and detect false identities.
Key points
Seasonal workers who have previously worked in the U.S. will not be counted again towards the visa limit, making it easier for them to return to work.
All H-2B program workers will be required to undergo biometric scans upon entry and exit from the U.S.
Authorities will more thoroughly verify workers' identities, including any aliases used, to detect security threats or criminal history.
