HR 4743 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To repeal section 14(g)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Summary
This bill repeals an exemption in the Immigration and Nationality Act that currently exempts institutions of higher education from annual numerical limitations on H-1B visas. Under current law, colleges and universities can hire an unlimited number of foreign workers on H-1B visas. The repeal would require these institutions to compete within the same annual H-1B visa caps that apply to other employers.
