Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 17 - 8.
H.R. 2641 would require all companies that contract with the federal government to use E-Verify, an electronic system that checks whether employees are legally authorized to work in the United States. Currently, E-Verify participation is voluntary for most federal contractors, but this bill would make it mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors working on federal government projects in the executive and legislative branches. The measure would amend existing immigration law from 1996 and would affect any business seeking federal contracts, from large corporations to small vendors. No specific funding amounts or implementation timeline are included in the bill text provided, though the bill was introduced in April 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee and Education and Workforce Committee for consideration.
