Plain-English summary
Amends the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act to provide that where State workers' compensation laws are applicable and provide coverage for a migrant or seasonal agricultural worker, workers' compensation benefits shall be the exclusive remedy for actual damages for loss from an injury or death of such a worker for all cases in which a final judgment has not been entered. Provides that this does not preclude recovery for statutory damages or an injunction under such Act.
