A couple of weeks ago, Colorado Senator Michael Bennet introduced S. 4069, titled the Affordable and Secure Food Act of 2024, which would reform the H-2A visa program for foreign agricultural workers and create a pathway to legal resident status for those workers. S. 4069 is the companion bill to H.R. 4319, otherwise known as the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2023, which also proposes H-2A reform and establishes a path to legal residency. Both bills would also create a new certified agricultural status that non-citizen farmworkers, as well as their spouses and dependents, could apply for. Click Here to view a break down of the new legislation from The National Agricultural Law Center.
