First of all. the amendment I am going to be offering. which is the compromise. extends the HlB program three years. not four years. Companies will pay a $500 fee. as I said in my opening statement. to fund education. training and oversight. The fee had been half that in the original measure. Violators of H1B rules will be banned for three years from the program. anyone who is violating it. The compromise tightens up the small business exemption that is in the bill. The Department of Labor is authorized to do spot checks on companies which face any credible charges that have been leveled. and. along with the equivalent pay. which I mentioned again in my opening remarks.
