LOCAL BUSINESSES CONCERNED ABOUT NEW LAW

There’s growing concern among the local seasonal business community about a new federal bill that is slated to be introduced in Congress today.  The new bill is entitled “The Fraudulent Oversees Recruitment and Trafficking Elimination Act of 2014”.  Businesses say a portion of this new bill would eliminate the possibility of seasonal businesses at the Jersey Shore hiring summer workers from foreign countries.  Business groups in our county are lobbying for opposition to this portion of the bill.
