E-Verify requirement for federal contractors
This bill would require every contractor of an executive-branch or legislative-branch agency to elect to participate in the E-Verify program. It would also require every subcontractor at any tier on those federal contracts to elect and comply with E-Verify. The text relies on the E-Verify rules described in section 403(a) and does not set deadlines, penalties, or enforcement steps in this section. This would likely raise hiring checks and administrative costs for affected businesses.
