RIDE Act

What this bill does

This bill allows traveling carnival and circus workers to obtain P visas for nonimmigrant entertainers and performers.
It affects carnival and circus workers in essential roles like equipment transport and assembly who lack sufficient U.S. workers.
Visas require showing no available U.S. workers and no negative wage or working condition impacts on similar U.S. workers.
