What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Carnivals are Real Entertainment Act," proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. It aims to create a new nonimmigrant status for mobile entertainment workers. These workers would be those traveling temporarily to perform functions essential to mobile entertainment providers like carnivals or circuses. The bill also defines what qualifies as a mobile entertainment provider and its essential functions. Finally, it requires the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Labor to establish specific rules for this new status.
