What this bill would do

This bill aims to exempt public school employees from certain fees for H-1B visas. Specifically, it targets the $100,000 fee imposed by Presidential Proclamation 10973. If passed, petitions for nonimmigrants in specialty occupations working for public schools or public school districts would not need to pay this fee.
