The Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has proposed delaying the effective date of a rule concerning wage protections for certain foreign workers in the U.S. The rule, originally set to be enforced on March 15, 2021, is now proposed to take effect on May 14, 2021. This 60-day delay allows the agency time to review the rule as directed by a Presidential memorandum titled "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review," issued on January 20, 2021. The ETA is inviting public comments on this proposed delay by February 16, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to wait a little longer before starting a new rule about paying some workers from other countries fairly. They're asking people what they think about waiting until they're sure everything in the rule is right.
