Makes an employer liable for the return transportation costs of an L-1 worker dismissed from employment prior to the end of the authorized admission. Imposes a fee on an L-1 employer. Establishes in the Treasury the L-1 Nonimmigrant Petitioner Account, which shall be used for data processing, labor enforcement, and training and education of U.S. workers. Establishes an annual 35,000 L-1 visa limit. Eliminates L-1 blanket visa authority. Requires:
(1) an L-1 worker to have a bachelor's degree or higher in his or her area of special knowledge; and
(2) verification by the Secretary of State. Increases the prior foreign employment requirement.
