Plain-English Summary

The federal government would make the E-Verify system permanent and require all employers to use it to check whether job applicants are legally allowed to work in the United States. Currently, E-Verify is a voluntary program that some employers use, but this bill would make it mandatory for every business hiring workers. The change would affect millions of employers and job applicants across the country.
