AI Summary
This bill, the Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act, would permanently reauthorize the E-Verify program and make it mandatory for all employers in the United States to use within one year. The bill would also increase penalties for employers who fail to comply, allow the Department of Homeland Security to designate certain critical employers who must use E-Verify immediately, and require federal contractors and agencies to use the system. Additionally, the bill would establish an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to conduct audits and enforce employment verification requirements more effectively.
