Mike Kennedy will work to codify the H-1B visa fee increase in law through the PROTECT Act.

I already introduced the PROTECT Act, which will codify the President’s H-1B reforms and make it the law of the land. We need to pass the PROTECT Act

Kennedy says he introduced the PROTECT Act and wants Congress to pass it so the H-1B fee increase and related reforms become permanent law.

The site’s June 9, 2026 press-release listing says, "Federal judge dismantles POTUS’S H1B Visa fee. Rep. Kennedy’s PROTECT Act would make it permanent."

Kennedy publicly tied the PROTECT Act to making the H-1B fee increase permanent, which is a concrete legislative action toward codification, but it is only a proposal and not enacted law.

The homepage also features a June 9, 2026 item titled "Rep. Kennedy Introduces Legislation to PROTECT American Workers," indicating he introduced the PROTECT legislation in this term.

This confirms active introduction of PROTECT legislation during the lookback window, but there is no indication in the official materials that the fee increase has been codified into law.
