| 2022126 | 50335370-035c-4de1-ad0f-b6c815c8350c | Q3 | NATIONAL CLUB ASSOCIATION | 27423 | NATIONAL CLUB ASSOCIATION | 2017 | third_quarter | LBR | NCA lobbied on behalf of provisions in the FY18 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill that would re-institute the H-2B visa program's Returning Worker Exemption, which would allow those who have used the visa program in the past to return without counting against the H-2B visa cap limit. When American workers are unwilling to take on these seasonal positions, clubs turn to the H-2B program. Without these workers, many clubs are unable to fully staff their facilities. NCA also lobbied for the Simplifying Technical Aspects Regarding Seasonality Act (the bill has not yet been introduced in the 115th Congress). This legislation would remove the two different definitions for seasonal staffers currently found in the Affordable Care Act. By so doing, club leaders would better understand who must be counted when determining if their facility has 50 or more full-time or full-time equivalent employees and who is then required to be offered health insurance under the law. Finally, NCA lobbied for changes to the federal overtime exemption rule. With the most recent rule being struck down by the federal courts, the Department of Labor (DOL) has begun reviewing what changes should be made to create a new rule. NCA also submitted comments in response to DOL's RFI. | Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Labor, Dept of (DOL),SENATE | 0 | 0 | 2017-10-11T14:54:13.947000-04:00 |
