    The Department of Labor is proposing changes to rules regarding filing and service in proceedings involving the Administrative Review Board. The new rules aim to make electronic filing (e-filing) and electronic service (e-service) mandatory for attorneys and representatives, while self-represented individuals will have the choice of using electronic or traditional methods. The proposed changes include updates to existing regulations, aiming for improved efficiency and reduced processing time by transitioning to electronic case files. Public comments on the proposed rulemaking are being solicited until February 10, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Labor wants lawyers to use computers to send and receive important documents instead of paper, making it faster and easier, but people who aren't lawyers can choose whether to use a computer or not.

The proposal includes updates to existing regulations and aims to maintain efficient handling of cases without notable disruption. The departments are encouraging public comments on this proposed rule to ensure informed decision-making.

    The government wants to change how certain work permission decisions (like letting helpers come to the U.S. for temporary jobs) are checked. They are asking people what they think about letting a big boss have more say in these decisions to make sure everything is fair.

    Reading Time:about 18 minutes

    The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor have issued a rule to expand the discretionary review authority of the Secretary of Labor to include certain H-2B temporary labor certification cases. This rule allows the Secretary to review cases that are pending before or have been decided by the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA). The rule is part of a broader effort to ensure that internal processes are properly supervised by the Secretary and is expected to be used mainly for cases of notable importance. Public comments are encouraged, but significant adverse comments could halt the rule's implementation.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making a new rule that lets a big boss named the Secretary of Labor look at special work cases for people from other countries. It's like giving them a chance to double-check and make sure important decisions are being made fairly and carefully.

  • 2020-28055 — Rules of Practice and Procedure Concerning Filing and Service and Amended Rules Concerning Filing and Service
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 1772
    Reading Time:about 114 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Labor has introduced a new rule requiring most legal representatives to file documents electronically and accept electronic service in cases before the Administrative Review Board (ARB), unless given an exemption for a good reason. This rule aims to streamline procedures and reduce reliance on paper documents by establishing a new set of rules for filing and service. Self-represented individuals will, however, have the option to file either electronically or conventionally. The rule is expected to make the process more efficient and aligns with practices used in federal courts.

    Simple Explanation

    The new rule says that most lawyers need to send papers through the computer in certain worker cases, but if you’re doing it by yourself without a lawyer, you can still use paper. This helps make things faster and uses less paper, like some big courts do.
