In June 2011, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) introduced the Legal Workforce Act (HR 2164), an E-Verify bill that requires all employers to use the employment verification system.

The bill also requires all federal, state, and local agencies to run existing employees through E-Verify, and lifts the federal ban on private employers from running current employees through E-Verify.
