Posts - Bill - HR 251 Legal Workforce Act
house 01/09/2025 - 119th Congress
We are proposing the "Legal Workforce Act" to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by making it mandatory for all employers to use an electronic system to verify employment eligibility. The legislation aims to ensure that only individuals authorized to work in the United States are hired, which helps maintain fair labor standards and reduce unlawful employment practices. Through this system, we seek to improve the transparency and integrity of the hiring process while safeguarding personal privacy.
