This bill would change a 1996 federal immigration law to require every contractor of a federal agency in the executive or legislative branch to take part in E-Verify. E-Verify is a federal program employers use to check whether workers are allowed to work in the United States. The requirement would also apply to subcontractors at every level under those contractors. Contractors and subcontractors would have to follow the program's terms and conditions.
