Bill 117 hr 6906, also known as the Commonwealth Only Transitional Workers Act, seeks to amend Public Law 94-241 in order to allow the Secretary of Homeland Security to increase the number of permits available for employers in Construction and Extraction Occupations who are seeking Commonwealth Only Transitional Workers. These workers are individuals from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands who are allowed to work in the United States under certain conditions.

The purpose of this bill is to address the shortage of workers in these specific industries by expanding the pool of eligible workers. By increasing the number of permits available, employers will have more flexibility in hiring workers from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to fill positions in construction and extraction occupations.

The bill aims to support the economic growth and development of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands by providing opportunities for its residents to work in the United States. It also seeks to ensure that employers in the construction and extraction industries have access to the workers they need to complete projects and meet demand. Overall, the Commonwealth Only Transitional Workers Act is designed to benefit both employers in need of workers and individuals from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands seeking employment opportunities in the United States.
