AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the Immigration and Nationality Act's definition of agricultural labor or services used for temporary foreign worker visas. It adds the processing of crawfish to that definition, alongside the existing item of pressing apples for cider on a farm. Crawfish processing under the bill includes washing, sorting, grading, whole-boiling, peeling, and transporting crawfish.
