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

This legislation proposes to amend the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to make participation in the E-Verify program mandatory for all federal contractors. E-Verify is a web-based system that allows enrolled employers to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States by electronically matching information from their employment forms against records available to the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. Currently, while many federal contractors are required to use the system under executive orders, this bill would codify that requirement into federal law.

If enacted, the bill would impact businesses that provide goods or services to the federal government by requiring them to verify the immigration status of their workforce. This could lead to increased administrative responsibilities for these companies and would aim to ensure that federal tax dollars are not used to pay individuals who are not legally authorized to work in the country. Because this is a standard bill, it would require approval from both the House and Senate and the signature of the President to become law.
