This section amends INA §101(a)(15)(P) (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(P)) to add a new clause (iv) for nonimmigrants seeking temporary U.S. entry solely to perform functions integral and essential to a mobile entertainment provider (e.g., transporting, assembling, operating, disassembling, and maintaining rides, games, novelties, food or beverage concessions, and related equipment for traveling carnivals, circuses, or affiliated service providers at state, county, and local fairs, festivals, or nonprofit fundraising events). It further amends INA §214(c)(4) (8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(4)) to subject such admissions to the same Department of Labor program requirements as H-2B nonimmigrant visas for temporary nonagricultural workers (i.e., 20 CFR part 655) and directs the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Labor to publish proposed implementing rules within 180 days of enactment and finalize them within one year.
