Plain-English Summary

The legislation would make changes to the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialty occupations. The reforms would affect both employers seeking to hire international talent and workers competing for these positions, though the specific changes are under review by the House Judiciary Committee.
