Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to require all Federal contractors to participate in the E-verify program.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 by requiring all federal contractors and subcontractors to participate in the E-Verify program. E-Verify is an online system that allows employers to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States by checking their employment authorization. Under this legislation, any contractor working for an executive or legislative branch agency, as well as their subcontractors at any level of the contracting process, would be mandated to enroll in and comply with the E-Verify program. This means these contractors would need to electronically verify the immigration status and work authorization of their employees, helping to prevent the hiring of unauthorized workers on federal government contracts. The bill aims to strengthen immigration enforcement by ensuring that federal contractors rigorously check the legal status of their workforce.
