Who this affects: This bill mainly affects businesses that have, or want, federal contracts. It also affects subcontractors, including small companies far down the contract chain. Workers on federal contract jobs may have their information checked through E-Verify more often. Federal agencies and legislative branch offices would need contractors to follow this rule.
Why this matters: This bill could change how many federal contract workers get hired and checked for work eligibility.
