Transitional Worker Rule available for public comment

Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has now placed its interim rule on the CNMI-only Transitional Workers on the internet here.


The rule will be published tomorrow (Tuesday, October 27th) in the Federal Register and will be open for public comment for 30 days.

The transitional worker is a category established in Public Law 110-229 to strike a balance between the need for additional workers in the Commonwealth and the goal of providing jobs and adequate wages and working conditions for local residents.
