Explanation

(This amendment provides $45,000 from the general fund each year to the Virginia Department of Health related to the costs of Senate Bill 260 to establish and maintain an online housing registry of employers who provide housing to their H-2B Visa-holding workers. The registry will provide at a minimum: (i) employer name and agent; (ii) physical address of each unit of employer-provided housing; and (iii) the number of beds at each unit of such housing. The registry will be made available to the public on a website or webpage maintained by the department.)
